Axinn serves as the director of U-M’s International Research Hub, directs the Ford School’s International Policy Center, and is a research professor in ISR’s Population Studies Center and Survey Research Center. Chardoul is the director of Survey Research Operations at 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.
