The “MU-NSTDA Researcher Visit 1/2025,” organized under the Excellence Collaboration Project between Mahidol University and NSTDA, aimed to foster research excellence and expand networks among research and development personnel. In addition to introducing research work from all five national centers under NSTDA, the event included tours of NSTDA’s infrastructure and testing laboratories. A brainstorming session was also held to explore potential collaborative approaches between faculty and researchers from both organizations. Energy and Environmental Sciences, as well as Advanced Material Sciences and Nanotechnology, were identified as high-potential fields for developing aligned research propositions. The Excellence Collaboration Project, under MU-NSTDA, also plans to organize a visit to Mahidol University’s research facilities on April 22, 2025.
