The Paññāsāstra Institute of Academic Research and Development (PIARD) was established in July of 2012 to help realize the PUC Mission of “Becoming a leading Institution for Research and Development Study in Cambodia and in the regions, recognized for the high quality of faculty, students, and contributions to the peace and development of the region.”

With this mission set, PIARD prominent goal is to provide academic and research support to PUC faculty, students, and staff to pursue the excellence in the higher education of Cambodia. Our in-house publication, Paññāsāstra Academic Research (PAR) is a peer-reviewed scholarly collection of research articles that is published on a semi-annual basis (January and July) by the Paññāsāstra University of Cambodia.  The publication provides a platform for academicians, researchers, practitioners, and students to publish their scholarly research in the area of Arts and Humanities, Education, Law, Social science, Science & Engineering, Business & Economics, and other disciplines. The significant evidence-based knowledge created through academic research in various fields has clearly demonstrated valuable insights. By publishing these essential insights, PUC will be able to help shape the field of research in Cambodia and Southeast Asia.

Additionally, PIARD will provide supports and training courses in research writing, citation formatting, and information access and retrieval in acquiring sources for faculty, students, and staff. PIARD also provides information on fellowships and grants in many academic disciplines as well as assisting faculty, students, and staff in grant application and training on proposal writing.
