Axinn serves as the director of U-M's International Research Hub and the director of the Ford School's International Policy Center. Chardoul is the director of Survey Research Operations and International Research at the Institute for Social Research (ISR). They presented on ISR's significant role in global demographic and social science research.
Dr. Rukchanok Karcharnubarn, Dean of the College of Population Studies, presented on research initiatives from Chulalongkorn University. This includes Chula-ARi, an interdisciplinary project implemented within Bangkok, and the Nan Cultural Ecosystem Strengthening Project for Sustainable Aging Societies.
