PolyU Design and Thammasat University signed Memorandum of Understanding on academic collaboration

The Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) signing ceremony to mark our renewed academic collaboration with Thammasat University (TU) was successfully held on 11 April 2023. Dean of the Faculty of Architecture and Planning, Prof. Asan Suwanarit, and our Dean, Prof. Kun-Pyo Lee, signed the MOU, witnessed by Leader and faculty of TU's Design, Business & Technology Management (DBTM), Dr Archan Boonyanan, Dr Surapit Promsit, and Dr Jitiporn Wongwatcharapaiboon, and Innovative Business Design (IBD) programmes, Dr Sylvia Liu and Mr Benny Leong, joined by the visiting DBTM students, our IBD students and our alum who attended the exchange programme at TU back in 2020.

"This is precisely what I wanted to see, Thai students getting to meet Hong Kong and other students from different nationalities through our collaboration," said Prof. Suwanarit. "We had a fruitful discussion with our partner institution and would like to extend the collaboration between DBTM and IBD to other programmes and levels," said Prof. Lee.

The partnership will strengthen areas of collaboration in the exchange of knowledge, staff and students, and joint research and projects, aiming to nurture capable talent, transfer knowledge and steer research on topics relevant to the development of the "Belt and Road" area.
