Last week, an international expert panel conducted the five-year research evaluation of the Department. We are proud and flattered by the positive evaluation report. We are also eager to work on the constructive advice provided for our next steps in the strategic development of the Department.

Thank you to the panel members - Jan Gulliksen, David Basin, Danupon Nanongkai, and Luke Ong - for your deep insights and valuable recommendations. Your advice will help us elevate the Department to new heights.
