Students Involved:
The research team will also include one MSc student from the University of New Brunswick and one MSc student from the University of Ottawa. One Canadian doctoral student from the University of New Brunswick will receive funding through this program to carry out field research in the area under study and will also be part of the team. Six Indonesian research assistants (five MSc students and one doctoral student) from the University of Gadjah Mada will also be recruited and join the research team.
It is expected that the research program will generate a great interest among students from a range of disciplines such as sociology, anthropology, gender studies and development studies within and outside all the participating Universities. Therefore, students will be working in a stimulating multidisciplinary environment and will benefit from all the researchers involved. Students will acquire new skills strengthening their academic capabilities. The project will provide opportunities to carry out research abroad, present research results at conferences, and will be the focus of an intense and diverse research activity. Students will gain experience and knowledge that will not only benefit the academic world but that will also be of use for the development of policies in sustainable and gender development at the national and local level. They will develop research skills in, amongst other areas, sociology, economics, and anthropology. Conferences, networking with international partners and publication(s) also provide these student researchers with the opportunity to get involved in broader international debates on their topics.

Doctoral Student:
In addition to their research preparation at the University of New Brunswick and University of Ottawa, the Canadian doctoral student will receive a significantly enhanced training program. The three year stipend and further funds specified in the budget will enable him/her to spend 6 months in Indonesia, where he/she will a) carry out field research (4-6 months), while maintaining communication with the team and supervisors; b) undertake preliminary analysis and prepare 1-2 working papers to post to the website; and c) participate in the research workshops at the University of Gadjah Mada. The result will be a training enriched by opportunities for debate and exchange.
MSc Students:
The two Canadian MSc research assistants will gain important research skills and experience through their involvement in the project. They will receive one month of formal language training, and will work in the field alongside the six Indonesian research assistants for 4-6 months in total.
The students will be supervised by Prof. Torri, Prof. Laplante, and Prof. Mitra.
For Canadian students this exposure makes the prospect of future research in Indonesia more appealing, and more feasible, giving them very vital international exposure and experience. The role of the research students is seen as a key part of the research program activities allowing them to compare past and present entrepreneurship processes, examining various aspects of applications of traditional knowledge, and analysing the dynamics of gender entrepreneurship. Students are therefore engaged in problem definition, data collection and, in effect, in all stages of the planning and execution of field work and data collection, and in the preparation and delivery of conference papers and publications.
