Grant from the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) to do field work for a Master thesis in the context of the Build4People project

Build4People is happy to announce that Ms. Agnes Hütte, a student of Environmental Psychology at Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg, Germany, has received a scholarship from the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) to do research for her master’s thesis (supervised by Dr. Anke Blöbaum, Leader of Build4People Work Package “Behaviour Change”) in Cambodia. She will stay in Cambodia for three months, from November 2024 to January 2025,

Her field work will encompass, among others, conducting so-called Post-Occupancy-Evaluations which are user-centred evaluations of already designed urban built environments. The selected case site will be the large campus of Royal University of Phnom Penh.

During her stay she will get support from the Build4People colleagues at Royal University of Phnom Penh (RUPP), most notably from Dr. Sok Serey, Vice-Director of the Research Department of RUPP, and researcher partner of Build4People Work Package “Behaviour Change”.

Agnes is very excited to be on site and to meet members of the international research team in person, eager to contribute to the project and to gain valuable experience.
