Delegates from University of Montpellier 2


Picture 065PSU had the honor of receiving three distinguished delegates from the University of Montpellier 2 (UM 2), France, from January 4 – 6, 2013. The objectives of their visit were to renew the MOU between our universities, discuss further collaborative activities, and expand our cooperation to more areas. The French delegates, led by Prof. Francois Henn, Vice President for International Affairs, were welcomed by the PSU President Assoc. Prof. Dr. Chusak Limsakul and its team, as well as around 25 MU 2 alumni that are now PSU lecturers.

PSU established the cooperation with UM 2 in 2002, when a first Memorandum of Understanding was signed. Since then, PSU and UM 2 have enjoyed close friendship and academic collaborations in many fields.

During the afternoon meeting, chaired by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Perapong Tekasakul, PSU Vice President for Research System and Graduate Studies, our distinguished visitors discussed with PSU representatives further collaborative activities. As for example, exchange of students and joint research are expected to be initiated among the scientist of the two universities. UM 2 would also like to strengthen their cooperation with PSU Surat Thani Campus in the area of rubber. In order to identify more cooperative research, PSU and UM 2 will jointly organize a multidisciplinary workshop with the theme "Sustainable Development" in October 2014. The workshop will be centered on starting joint research between Thai and French universities, and, therefore, PSU will identify other Thai universities, and UM 2 will contact other French universities to participate in. The first multidisciplinary workshop will be held in Thailand.
