NECTEC, in collaboration with the Mekong-Republic of Korea Cooperation Fund (MKCF), is launching a project to enhance computational skills for students in Mekong countries and the Republic of Korea. The project, titled “Enhancing Computational Skills for Students in Mekong Countries and the Republic of Korea through Coding, IoT, and AI Learning” (CAIoT4CT) secured funding of $486,454 from the MKCF.

A hybrid meeting was held on August 15, 2025, to kick off the project, led by NECTEC’s Educational Technology Research Team. Participants from the Republic of Korea and CLMV (Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Vietnam) joined the active discussion. NECTEC welcomed Mr. Madhurjya K. Dutta, Director of the MKCF, to the meeting.

The project aims to equip students in the region with essential skills in Coding, the Internet of Things (IoT), and Artificial Intelligence (AI). Rather than directly training students, the initiative will focus on a train-the-trainer model, providing teachers with the necessary knowledge and tools. This approach ensures a broader and more sustainable impact on the education sector.

The two-and-a-half-year project is structured in three phases:

  • First Year: Development of course materials and online training.
  • Second Year: On-site workshops to provide hands-on experience.
  • Final Phase: An innovation contest where students will apply their skills to develop projects centered on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) within the Mekong River Basin.

This initiative is a significant step toward cultivating computational thinking, problem-solving, and innovation among the next generation, preparing them for a technology-driven future.

On 17 June 2022, NECTEC researchers from the Information Security Research Team (SEC), Communication and Networks Research Group (CNWRG) including Dr. Chalee Vorakulpipat, Head of SEC, Dr. Soontorn Sirapaisan, and Ms. Sineenat Tienkouw Watanavisit, together with international cooperation team from NECTEC and INCO including Dr. Kusumaporn Sompong, Manager of the International Cooperation Section of NECTEC, Dr. Suangusa Pullket, Mr. Saranyu Laemlak, and Ms. Patchara Umprasert, joined the discussion with Mr. Mathias Ruch, Co-Founder of the Swiss Blockchain Federation and, Co-Founder and CEO of Crypto Valley Venture Capital (CV VC). The meeting was hosted by the Embassy of Switzerland Thailand. Ms. Céline Badertscher and Ms. Patchaya Thanaudom, political and economic officers of the Swiss Embassy, also attend this meeting.

The purpose of this meeting was mutual introduction between NECTEC team and Mr. Mathias, and discussion on potential collaboration in the field of blockchain and digital technology that will enhance the international cooperation in this field between the two countries. In the discussion, Mr. Mathias mentioned that blockchain technology has the potential to create opportunities, changes, and development in all regions of the world, and foresee that Thailand has great potential to be a leader of blockchain technology in Southeast Asia. He is now looking for collaborators to work together in Thailand blockchain ecosystem, which includes the Central Bank, the Securities and Exchange Commission, start-ups and investors, innovation agencies, as well as with Thai universities and research institutes active in the field of blockchain.

]]> Collaboration between NECTEC and NICT inspired by ‘Doko-demo-Door’ of DORAEMON https://www.nectec.or.th/en/about/news/nict-dokodemodoor.html Fri, 30 Jul 2021 10:41:58 +0000 https://www.nectec.or.th/en/?p=19269

On 11 September 2017, National Electronics and Computer Technology Center (NECTEC) of Thailand, in collaboration with National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT) of Japan, organized the 1st NECTEC-NICT Joint Workshop 2017 at Queen Sirikit National Convention Center (QSNCC). The overall objective of this Workshop are to strengthen a closer relationship and to identify mutual interests between two institutes.

“If you are a big fan of DORAEMON, you’ll know Doko-demo-Door. Doko-demo-Door allows you to go anywhere you want, likewise, the collaboration makes research whatever you think,” said Dr.Fumihiko Tomita, Chief Research & Strategy Officer, Vice President of NICT, during the workshop

The using of international cooperation mechanism is comparable to Doko-demo-Door which unlocks the door to realization of R&D on electronics and computer. Most of all, it will be an accelerator as a springboard for Thailand’s economic growth jumping out of Middle Income Trap. The eight topics of mutual interests from this workshop are as follows:

  • Silicon Photonics
  • Wireless Network
  • Cyber Security
  • Terahertz Technology
  • ICT for Marginalized Area
  • Towards Social Deployment of Advanced ICT
  • Brain-Machine Interfaces / Robotics
  • Neuroimaging Technology

Concurrently, NECTEC organized the NECTEC Annual Conference and Exhibition 2017 (NECTEC-ACE 2017) under the theme “Practical R&D: Innovation Springboard” at QSNCC. Dr.Fumihiko Tomita also delivered a keynote speech during “Smart Technology in Asia for Driving Future Economy” session on the topic of “More Healthy and Sophisticated Smart Systems – Charming ICT for Potential Users” to the public and interested audiences in this event. Seventeen NICT researchers and staffs visited exhibition booths and attended the workshop, the largest NICT delegation official visit to Thailand and NECTEC ever.
