European Research Day is the annual flagship event of EURAXESS ASEAN. In 2020, this virtual edition for Thailand took place in partnership with the European Union Delegation to Thailand and the much appreciated support of the National Science and Technology Development Agency (NSTDA) and Mahidol University.
Mr. Giuseppe Busini, Deputy Head of the EU Delegation to Thailand led the event and shared the aspects of the strong relationship of the European Union and Thailand especially on partnerships in research and innovation.
Below is an overview of the speakers composed of representatives from the EU and Member States, leaders from the Thai science and tech community, as well as researchers and recipients of EU grants. Also provided are links to the recordings and presentations.
EURAXESS continues its commitment to the research community across ASEAN to provide information and support for scientific exchange and collaboration with Europe.
