28.08.2015

Faculty of Science, Chulalongkorn University (CU) has realized the importance of student preparation for the ASEAN Economy Community (AEC) in 2015, especially in terms of academic strength and collaboration. Faculty of Science, CU would like to propose as the lead in organizing scientific lectures and workshops in the following ASEAN-distinctive science topics below to help facilitating the knowledge sharing, strengthening the scientific knowledge, and establishing the ASEAN science youth network among ASEAN students:

(1) Environmental problems

(2) Natural disaster management

(3) Biodiversity

Bird Biodiversity

 

Beside the preparation for the academic strength, the understanding of other ASEAN cultures, social values and languages are also another important factor for the success of AEC. Therefore, Center for International Cooperation Promotion, Faculty of Science together with ASEAN Youth Friendship Network (AYFN) decide to organize ASEAN Science Camp 2015, allowing Thai and ASEAN students in various majors to interactively learn about science, and at the same time, to exchange cultures and languages and improve their English communication skills.

Learning Thai Culture

 

Insect and Bird Presentation Competition

 

AYFN has successfully organized several cultural exchange events with several universities in ASEAN. Last year, Faculty of Science, CU also received the funding from Innovative Thai-ASEAN Academic Cooperation at Chulalongkorn University (ITAAC@CU) and ASEAN Studies Center to organize CU-AYFN ASEAN Science Camp 2014 with the participants from Faculty of Science, CU and AYFN Indonesian students. A great success in the establishment of science youth network among Thai and Indonesian students had been gratefully accomplished. It is, therefore, anticipated that the upcoming ASEAN Science Camp 2015 would even further expand such a network to cover all other ASEAN youth community.
