The Highland Institute is a project-based research centre, and thus is primarily concerned with facilitating, supporting, and nurturing research projects within its various focus areas. Projects include supervised research work such as doctoral and post-doctoral projects, typically in coordination with other universities or centres of learning; large multi-year projects principally funded through public research funds; and independent research initiatives, typically funded through a combination of small and large private grants. Sometimes stand-alone events, such as workshops and seminars, are treated like projects, depending on their financial / budget structure, and duration.
The projects listed in these pages are a sampling of ongoing research work either directly coordinated by Highland Institute staff, or coordinated from the Highland Institute in Kohima, Nagaland.
