14 Practice School University-Industry Partnership enterprise mutually agree in research problem university mentor consult for operation and process research problem student problem solving Advisor advise at site area Example of PS programs currently carried out: - ChEPS - FEPS -C-Cheps Policy toward the future: Scale expansion Scope expansion - PhD level - other fields

15 World class University of S&T There is an effort to set up a consortium-type research university namely Thailand Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (THAIST). THAIST creates synergetic collaboration among universities and research institutes both domestic and overseas to produce research graduates in scientific, technological and related management fields (e.g. management of intellectual property). NSTDA Overseas: Tokyo Tech, MIT etc. THAIST TGIST: AIT, Thammasat/SIIT, KMUTT, KMITL, Chula, Mahidol etc. World-Class Master and PhD Graduates

16 Infrastructure & Institution Development Development of New Science Parks - 4 more science parks or technology-business incubators in regional areas Promotion Scheme for Center of Excellence Plan to promote highpotential in universities. 10 distinct research labs will be promoted each year with the lump-sum budget of USD 375k Intellectual Property System Development Appropriate IPS are developed to create supportive environment for knowledge creation, diffusion and utilization Development of Software Park Development and Improvement of Laws and Regulations Some laws and regulations are developed and improved for benefits of ICT fully utilization Improvement of Metrology, Standardization, Testing and Quality Assurance System (MSTQ) MSTQ system is improved for its integration, efficiency and industrial demandresponsive capability

17 Thailand Science Park (TSP) Firstly operated in 2002 as a fully integrated hub for R&D in Science and Technology with the total investment budget of USD 175 million Its missions are to promote innovation and R&D activities in the private sector and to develop a critical mass of R&D human resource for Thailand Accommodated with four national research centers: NECTEC, BIOTEC, MTEC, NANOTEC, including the Technology Management Center. Thailand Science Park 1 st International Airport

18 S&T Public Awareness Key Projects Science Media Development including the development of science media center, science feature article broadcasting on TV, science and technology knowledge publication, developing science communicators Development of Science and Technology Educational Activities such as creating mobile S&T educational units, technology road show, S&T public debate forum S&T Competition S&T Competition including mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology competition as well as competition related to technology innovation and applied science
