A group of 22 scholars from various universities in Thailand have come to Mysuru as part of Thailand-India Academic Exchange and the visit has been organised by the Institute of Asian Studies, Chulalongkorn University (IAS-CU) and the National Research Council of Thailand (NRCT), through an NCRT-funded scheme ‘Developing National and International Asian Studies Network’.
The Thai team consists of researchers and professors in the field of Asian studies, and their expertise include international relations, economics, public policy, public health, media and communications, social sciences and humanities.
The visit aims to establish a future network of scholars from Thailand and India through organising joint seminars and academic interactions. The group looks forward to strengthening the ‘people-to-people’ connectivity between Thailand and India, and with the people of Karnataka.
