This chapter analyzes the current situation of research within Cambodia's higher education system, emphasizing the obstacles faced, including insufficient funding, limited research facilities, and a deficiency of suitably trained researchers. Moreover, the linguistic barrier between Khmer and English further hinders access to the international arena. Nonetheless, the increasing prospects in indigenous knowledge, sustainable agriculture, and cultural heritage offer expansion opportunities. The improvement of research and teaching can be achieved through the application of novel educational methods, interdisciplinary collaboration, and global partnerships. The chapter concludes with policy applications designed to enhance research financing, augment research capacity, and align research with national development goals. The chapter also promotes further investigation into local research capabilities and international cooperation. © 2025, IGI Global Scientific Publishing. All rights reserved.
