RESEARCH SUPPORT
One of the objectives of Expeditions is to promote high
quality socio-cultural science research at an international
level, and to play an institutional role in strengthening
the research infrastructure and network.
Expeditions offers its knowhow and guidance to scientific
research at universities and independent research
institutes on any scale and at any level. Development of
appropriate research policies, actively applied;
encouragement and structural support for cross-disciplinary
collaborative initiatives, activities, and programs... are
only a few examples.
Next to this we think it is very important for individuals
to feel that they have a network to which they belong and
that they feel part of a vibrant, engaged community in
which their contributions are recognized and valued.
One of our main partners is IMMRC (Interculturalism, Migration,
Minorities Research Centre) at the (University of Leuven (KUL)). The
main objective of the IMMRC research network is to
encourage research in the field of migration,
ethnicity and multiculturalism.
Expeditions also supports the work of young researchers in
the field of cultural sciences with any means. We try to
give them a platform and a network that ables them to
perform under the best possible conditions.
At this very moment we are developing a brand new system
that will be connected to an up-to-date database of
worldwide anthropologists and their projects. It will be an
online tool available for all. It's purpose is to bring
together individual researchers, students and organisations
active in the field of anthropology. You'll soon find more
about the project on www.anthropologynet.org.
