KU and UniSQ have enjoyed a strong relationship since signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) in 2023, facilitated by Asst. Prof. Sombat Khawprateep, Ph.D., a UniSQ alumnus. One notable outcome of this partnership was the successful KU &amp; UniSQ Student Exchange 2024 program, co-organized by the Faculty of Agriculture and the Faculty of Engineering at Kamphaeng Saen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the meeting, UniSQ, which serves approximately 27,000 students, 10% of whom are international, highlighted its commitment to further academic cooperation, particularly in the areas of agriculture and engineering. Professor Bell presented UniSQ\u2019s four flagship research focus areas:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Space &amp; Defense (IAESS)<\/li><li>Agriculture &amp; Environment (ILSE)<\/li><li>Regional Development (IRR)<\/li><li>Health (IRR)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Both parties actively exchanged ideas and explored mutual interests that could serve as a foundation for future joint initiatives. The meeting concluded with a group photo, symbolizing the shared commitment to expanding global academic engagement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Source: https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/share\/p\/1AJETLs5oU\/<\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div><p id=\"pvc_stats_4664\" class=\"pvc_stats all  \" data-element-id=\"4664\" style=\"\"><i class=\"pvc-stats-icon medium\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" data-prefix=\"far\" data-icon=\"chart-bar\" role=\"img\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\" class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-chart-bar fa-w-16 fa-2x\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M396.8 352h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V108.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v230.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm-192 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V140.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v198.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm96 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V204.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v134.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zM496 400H48V80c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16H16C7.16 64 0 71.16 0 80v336c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h464c8.84 0 16-7.16 16-16v-16c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16zm-387.2-48h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8v-70.4c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v70.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8z\" class=\"\"><\/path><\/svg><\/i> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Loading\" src=\"https:\/\/en.eng.ku.ac.th\/wp-content\/plugins\/page-views-count\/ajax-loader-2x.gif\" border=0 \/><\/p><div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Thursday, 24 April 2025, a delegation from Kasetsart University (KU) welcomed Professor John Bell, Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Research and Innovation) from the University of Southern Queensland (UniSQ), Australia, for a discussion on academic and research collaboration.
