Welcome to the YRI website!

As the Chairperson, I am pleased to introduce this platform dedicated to academic excellence and independent research. YRI aims to be a leading institution for scholarly inquiry on human rights, peace and democracy in Myanmar. Our website features research papers, academic writings, and reports authored by our scholars, along with opportunities for training in research methods. We have launched the YRI E-Learning Platform, an online space for continuous learning of legal research methodology and research ethics. We also offer research grants and a platform for paper publications.To support ethical and rigorous research, our Research Ethics Committee (REC) provides expert review and constructive feedback. We invite you to join us in promoting an independent research environment for social sciences in Myanmar. Thank you for your support.
