Navigating Thailand's Science and Technology Diplomacy Ecosystem

EURAXESS ASEAN supports the Asia-Europe Science & Technology Diplomacy Initiative organised by the Asia-Europe Foundation (ASEF) and its Country focused Workshop Series for Thailand entitled “Navigating Science and Technology Diplomacy Ecosystems”. 

The workshop series builds upon the research done by ASEF in 2024 for the Asia-Europe Science & Technology Diplomacy Report which mapped Science and Technology Diplomacy strategies, priorities, and tools across Asia and Europe, providing a mapping of the status of Science Diplomacy across the two regions. Learn more about the Report and ASEF’s work in the field of Science and Technology Diplomacy in 2024 here.

About the Workshop Series (extracted from ASEF's website)

Thailand is an emerging regional leader in Southeast Asia, that integrates traditional and innovative S&T diplomacy with innovation diplomacy to drive economic competitiveness, international research collaborations, and sustainable development. Thailand’s STI diplomacy follows a decentralised model, allowing diverse stakeholders to contribute towards common national goals while maintaining flexibility in their approaches. This model is reinforced by interagency coordination, international partnerships, and data-driven policies, positioning Thailand as a hub for collaboration in space exploration, biotechnology, and green technology.

The Thailand workshop series will explore this decentralised approach in action, showcasing the country’s strategic vision, institutional frameworks, and emerging opportunities, and how coordinated efforts across multiple sectors can enhance international partnerships and strengthen Thailand’s role in the global STI landscape.

The Workshop Series consists of 3 consecutive Webinars that deep dive into Thailand’s Science and Technology Diplomacy Ecosystem:
