The 4th Brunei-Malaysia Forum (BMF 2021)


The 4th Brunei-Malaysia Forum (BMF 2021) is the fourth international collaboration between the Faculties of Arts and Social Sciences at the University of Malaya (UM) and Universiti Brunei Darussalam (UBD), and will take place in a blended format with a mix of local and online participants.

BMF 2021 will be hosted by UBD from 14th to 15th September 2021. The conference theme, 'Trans-Asian Networks: Continuity & Change', represents BMF 2021 as a platform to exchange knowledge between the two institutions for a wider audience.

Knowledge exchange is a two-way process whereby social scientists, researchers, practitioners, or academics in the fields of arts, humanities and social sciences share learning, ideas and experiences. It is hoped that BMF will continue to facilitate dialogue between the research communities in these two universities and beyond.
