USM, PENANG, 19 March 2016 – The USM Centre for Policy Research and International Studies (CenPRIS)  is  aiming  to  be  a  reputable  centre  for  policy  research,  not  only  in  Malaysia  but  also throughout  the  world  in  many  aspects  of  socio­economy,  social  development,  social  issues  and other matters that would be impactful to the future of the society.

According to the Director of CenPRIS, Associate Professor Dr. Azeem Fazwan Ahmad Farouk, one area that would be given focus would be on research for peace at the global level.

"Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) has recently signed two Memorandums of Understanding (MoU) with SOKA University and TODA Institute for Global Peace and Policy Research to fulfil such aims.

"We are also doing research on public policies together with the University of Bath, UK as well as offering  a  Doctoral  programme  in  this  field,  which  is  to  be  available  in  2017,"  added  Azeem Fazwan.

Apart from that, CenPRIS would also implement a research project in the field of Ageing Science with  the  cooperation  from  the  USM  School  of  Biological  Sciences  and  a  number  of  Japanese institutions in the immediate future.

"This  is  also  a  policy  that  needs  to  be  looked  at  more  comprehensively  by  the  Malaysian government as the Malaysian population is having a longer lifespan and would pose a challenge to the society and the country," he added.

Work  done  by  CenPRIS  to  remain  relevant  as  a  policy  research  centre  in  drafting  policies  that would  cater  to  the  needs  of  society  and  country  can  be  seen  further  in  the  inventory  study carried out on local villages in Penang recently.

The  study  conducted  by  CenPRIS  was  intended  to  assist  the  policymakers  and  stakeholders  in efforts  to  develop  the  nation  without  harming  the  historical  and  heritage  aspects  of  specified localities.

CenPRIS, which was formerly known as the Centre for Policy Research, has produced numerous key studies in areas of socio­economy and has become the pioneer of various projects such as on  poverty  and  microcredit,  which  had  led  to  the  establishment  of  Amanah  Ikhtiar  and  TEKUN, agencies which have been upgraded into projects of national interest.
