Australia -Thailand Young University Researchers Exchange Program awarded

H.E Mr. James Wise, Australian Ambassador to Thailand recently held a congratulation party at his residence for 10 Thai researchers who were selected to participate in the Australia -Thailand Young University Researchers Exchange Program.

Dr. Pisist Kumnorkaew a researcher from NANOTEC Integrated Nanosystem Lab (INS) is one of 10 Thai researchers being invited to participate in the Australia -Thailand Young University Researchers Exchange Program. He will undertake a short research exchange program to work collaboratively with Flinders University in South Australia on the topic of organic photovoltaic.  

NANOTEC and Flinders have developed a mutual friendship collaboration based on science, technology and innovation development of advanced nanotechnology applications.

The program is jointly supported by the Australian Government Department of Education, the Innovative Research University Group, and the Office of the Higher Education Commission with a goal to facilitate science and research collaborations between the two countries, and bring together future research leaders in the hope that they will foster long term relationships.

It also aims to develop early and mid-career Australian and Thai researchers by increasing their understanding of culture, in terms of science and research practices and systems, while developing their leadership skills as future science ambassadors for Australia and Thailand.
