Our panel session at BRC (Borneo Research Council) Conference

June 26, 2012
The members of this project participated in BRC (Borneo Research Council) Conference at Universiti Brunei Darussalam (UBD) in Borneo and held a special panel session.

At the session we could have many positive feedback from the participants.
Among others, we were pleased to get acquainted with the researchers from universities overseas.
A member of the Australian National University gave us a frank observation to our presentation which encouraged us a lot.

We were fortunate to have an opportunity to share our opinions with a research group who had a presentation called “Political Ecology of the Kapuas River” comprising a group of researchers of Universität Bonn and Universität Bremen.
We reached a consensus to share our information and exchange our views and ideas.

The theme and topics of the panel session is as follows:
