Abstract/description[edit]

Collaboration between in-country researchers, and researchers from overseas, has a special dynamic in South East Asia - where collaboration can be supported and also hindered, depending on the context. The specific example of a project that was conducted in the 1990s, has a number of issues arising regarding the collaboration process, will be addressed.

Relationship to ESEAP or to the theme[edit]

The relationship is directly relevant for all countries in ESEAP where researchers are allowed to work in country.
