STI Policy Design Course Year 2 Certificate Presentation Ceremony

วันที่เผยแพร่ 2 December 2020

NXPO and King Mongkut’s University of Technology Thonburi (KMUTT) held a certification presentation ceremony for participants to the STI Policy Design Course Year 2. The 5-month course took place during the COVID-19 pandemic, prompting the course to turn to “hybrid learning”—a mix of in-person and online instruction. Experts from both public and private sectors – including Dr. Pichet Durongkaveroj, former Minister of Science and Technology and former Minister of Digital Economy and Society; Prof. Wichan Panich, Chairman of NXPO Advisory Board on Science, Research and Innovation Reform; Prof. Dr. Yongyuth Yuthavong, Chairman of KMUTT Council; Dr. Sakarindr Bhumiratana, former KMUTT President; Mr. Kan Trakulhoon, former President & CEO, Siam Cement Public Company Limited; Prof. Dr. Naksitte Coovattanachai, NXPO Advisor; Dr. Kitipong Promwong, NXPO President – kindly devoted their time to their share knowledge and experience with participants throughout the course.

A joint effort between NXPO and KMUTT, this non-degree course aims at developing capacity of policy researchers, policy analysts and policy development specialists working in the STI (Science, Technology and Innovation) system in Thailand and supporting the network formation of people working on STI policy for future knowledge exchange and collaboration. Thus far, the STI Policy Design Course has a total of 76 graduates – 48 this year and 28 in 2019. The course is expected to return in February 2021 with 40 participants. 

In addition to the certificate presentation, an announcement of the winner of policy design contest was made. The award went to a policy for developing children for the 21st century new normal society.
