Currently, there is one postdoctoral researcher and three PhD students of the department of Anthropology of the University of Zürich (AIM) working at Suaq. The four main projects include:
- The development of intelligence
- The function(s) of a long-distance signal: the orangutan long call
- Identifying cultural units in orangutans
- Male-female relationships – from friendship to coercion
- Communication – with all its modalities
