On 14 June 2022, Prof. Eric Cornuel, President of EFMD Global, and Ms. Helke Carvalho-Hernandes, Vice-President, were welcomed to Thammasat University by the Rector, Gasinee Withoonchart, and the Vice Rector for Administration (Tha Prachan) and International Affairs, along with staff from the International Affairs Office. Discussions focused on organizing an international conference on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) which will be held by EFMD in April 2024 and on launching a new program called “Startup Exchanges” in cooperation with EFMD and member schools within the coming months.
During the meeting at Tha Prachan, Thammasat highlighted current and past activities and achievements, such as the online and hybrid learning and teaching system which supported Thammasat students during the two years of the Covid-19 pandemic and the “DIY Project” workshop, a cooperation between Thammasat and communities.
Also discussed was the “Thammasat Metaverse Campus” which will be launched within the next six months at Thammasat University in cooperation with more than fifty Thai and global companies to service the community with a T-verse platform, enabling people to reach out for explicit knowledge, research, and innovations created by Thammasat.
