Theme

BORNEO ON THE MOVE:  CONTINUITY AND CHANGE

The Borneo Research Council (BRC) was established in 1968 as an incorporated non-profit organization for the advancement of knowledge in the social, biological and medical sciences with regard to Borneo (Sabah, Sarawak, Brunei, and Kalimantan).  The Council consists of an international group of scholars engaged in research in Borneo.  It holds biennial international conferences at which the latest research in al academic fields connected with Borneo is presented and discussed.

Since 1990, these biennial international conferences have been held at various universities and institutions located on the island of Borneo.  In 1992, Sabah hosted the Second BRC Biennial International Conference, which was jointly organized by the Centre for Borneo Studies (Sabah Foundation) and the Department of Sabah Museum, and in 2002   Universiti Malaysia Sabah organized the Seventh such Conference.   The most recent BRC Conference was organized by Universiti Malaysia Sarawak (UNIMAS) in Kuching Sarawak, during July 2006.  The School of Social Sciences at Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS) has been selected to organize the forthcoming 2008 Conference.

A special Photographic Competition and Exhibition on the theme Borneo on the Move:  Continuity and Change will be held in conjunction with the Conference.  This will be open to any interested participants who wish to submit their photographs that are relevant to the theme.
