Abstract

Academic research is a cornerstone for societal development and innovation in an increasingly globalized and knowledge-driven world. This chapter examines the challenges faced by Cambodian universities in fostering robust academic research output, drawing on empirical data to identify systemic barriers and potential solutions. Through an analysis of previous studies and institutional policies, this research reveals critical obstacles such as limited funding, inadequate infrastructure, a lack of skilled researchers, and insufficient collaboration between academia and industry. The findings highlight a gap in research capacity building and access to global networks, compounded by socioeconomic constraints and cultural attitudes toward research. It is clear that the importance of collaboration cannot be overstated in overcoming these challenges.
