  • Major Activities

    Since 2005, JAAT has carried out biannual S&T activities. In February, a symposium is held in conjunction with the JSPS-NRCT RONPAKU Medal Award Ceremony. In August, the association participates in the Thailand Research Expo held annually by the National Research Council of Thailand (NRCT) by carrying out theme-specific seminars, panel discussion and R&D exhibits.

    From FY 2010, JAAT has provided opportunities for its members to revisit Japan through JSPS’s BRIDGE Fellowship Program. Upon their return to Thailand, the dispatched researchers hold reporting seminars at their affiliated organizations for the edification of younger colleagues, who are potential future JSPS fellows. Such reporting seminars have already been held twice, one at Kasetsart University and the other at National Cancer Institute of Thailand.

    On another plane, JAAT holds several academic events for Thai researchers, community leaders, and the interested public. The Thai people have gotten to know more about us through these activities. Including those listed below, they have yielded tangible results on the ground in Thai society.
