Visiting Fellows. (2009-Present)
The Social Research Institute welcomes researchers from other countries who are interested in doing social research in Thailand on condition that the topic of their research has relevance to those undertaken by the Institute. The visiting fellows are expected to work together with counterparts at the Institute. At present, 3-6 visiting researchers are received each year. When the research is completed, a conference is held to present the results of the study which will be published in the Institute's Journal later on

Focus on the Global South
Became affiliated with CUSRI to begin a broad cooperation in Asian development studies in line with its objective. Focus was established in January 1995. It is a Thailand based non-government organization dedicated to regional and global policy analysis, micro-macro issues linking and advocacy work. The four thematic areas are: 1) Economic and Financial Liberalization, 2) Security and Conflict, 3) State, Market and Civil Society, and 4) Culture and Globalization.

Southeast Asia in Transitions. (2000-2003)
This is a multi-lateral research project involving three European countries: Austria, Italy and the Netherlands, and four Southeast Asian countries: Thailand, Laos, Vietnam and Indonesia. The research is conducted at macro and micro levels in the four SE Asian countries. Focusing on a search for variables that will contribute to a sustainable economic system in the Southeast Asia region, the project intends to create indicators by analyzing how social settings, the economy and environmental movements are interrelated. Once a good grasp of this interconnectedness is gained, the project believes it can produce guidelines and recommendations on effective policies towards sustainable development. Besides, the project expects to initiate a research network between Asian and European researchers so that they can share their knowledge and collectively learn about environmental, developmental, economic and social changes at a global scale.

Comparative Non-profit Sector Project. (1993-Present)
The Institute has been involved in the Johns Hopkins Comparative Non-profit Sector Project since 1993. In 1994, it studied 108 well-established and socially-concerned private companies in Thailand. These business firms were locally, nationally, and internationally owned and were long lasting and secure. Their intentions, assistance types, budget allocation, target area selection, activities, and obstacles were carefully examined. The findings showed that the Non-profit Sector included not only registered foundations and associations but also various forms of unregistered groupings whose operations were charitable too. This NPS study led to subsequent study projects: Civil Society Resource Organizations in Thailand, Thailand Nonprofit Sector and Social Development, and Impacts of Public Interest Organization in Thailand.
 
 
Thai-Danish Environmental Consortium - TUCED-DUCED. (2001-Present)
Four Thai universities -Chiang Mai, Mahidol, Prince of Songkhla, and Chulalongkorn -made an agreement to cooperate with the Danish University Consortium for Environment and Development Industry & Urban Area (DUCED- I & UA) in looking for solutions to environmental problems. Financially supported by the Danish Cooperation Areas for Environment and Development (DANCED), the Thai counterpart is known as the Thai University Consortium for Environment and Development - Industry & Urban Areas (TUCED-I & UA). Improvement of the consortium members' capacity for study and research on the environment management of the industry and urban areas is a major objective of the cooperation.
