Research Centre Chiang Mai

About the Research Centre

The Unit for Social and Environmental Research (USER) is is a small inter-disciplinary research group within the Chiang Mai University School of Public Policy (CMU-SPP).

We have long-standing interests in governance of natural resources and environmental change. Most of our policy-related research is carried out in the Mekong Region but we welcome collaboration and comparative analysis with other parts of the world.
