Khon Kaen University has a good and long lasting relationship with the British Embassy Bangkok. Importantly, there are many academic collaborations with UK universities such as the University of London, University of Liverpool, Imperial College of Science Technology and Medicine, and University College London. We are very grateful that the British Embassy Bangkok has continuously supported KKU in various cooperation initiatives, including exchange of staff and students, research and various academic seminars. Especially, the research on Cholangiocarcinoma has led to world-renowned publications. In addition, KKU and the British Council Thailand have been working together closely in organizing the FameLab competition, one of the biggest sciences and communication competitions in the world. KKU has sent staff and students to participate actively in the FameLab competition every year. One KKU student won the Thailand championship in Thailand in 2017 and our lecturer from the Faculty of Science also won the national championship in 2020. Finally, We strongly hope that the meeting and discussions today will help you to gain more insight in our strategic policies for being “World leading Research and Development University and that it will further strengthen the relationships, trust and friendship between the British Embassy Bangkok and KKU”
