This visit to academic institutions in Japan provided a valuable opportunity to strengthen international relations and foster academic collaboration between the institutions.
25 August 2025, 10:00–14:00 hrs, Dr. Praewa Wongburi, Assistant Dean for Policy, Planning, and International Relations, Faculty of Environment and Resource Studies, Mahidol University, led undergraduate students from the Bachelor of Science Program in Environmental Science and Technology and the Bachelor of Science Program in Natural Resources and Environmental Management (International Program) to participate in the 5th International Forum on Low Carbon Cities (IFLCC).
The forum, held at Conference Room 4, United Nations Conference Centre, Bangkok, was organized by the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (UNESCAP).
The 5th IFLCC addressed the critical intersection of urban sustainability, climate action, and demographic change in the Asia-Pacific region. As cities face rapid urbanization and shifting population dynamics—such as aging societies and youth bulges; there is an urgent need for policies that are low-carbon, inclusive, and responsive to diverse population needs.
The forum served as a platform for city leaders, researchers, youth, and private sector stakeholders to exchange strategies and innovative approaches toward advancing sustainable, low-carbon urban development. A central theme of this year’s event highlighted how demographic transitions, particularly the simultaneous growth of elderly and youth populations, shape the design and implementation of sustainable urban policies.
22 August 2025 Associate Professor Dr. Kitikorn Charmondusit, Dean of the Faculty of Environment and Resource Studies, Mahidol University, warmly welcomed the delegation from Shanghai Jiao Tong University as part of the Global Challenge Program Collaborative Project: “Transboundary Plastic Waste and Circular Governance Collaborative Innovation Project in Southeast Asia.”
The delegation, led by Professor Ziyang Lou, consisted of nine members, including researchers, graduate students, and staff. The visit aimed to engage in academic discussions on “Plastic Waste Management and Circular Economy” in order to strengthen collaboration and exchange best practices for advancing sustainable environmental science.
On this occasion, the Faculty organized site visits focusing on key environmental issues such as integrated environmental management, waste management and recycling banks, as well as the composting station and wastewater treatment system in the morning. In the afternoon, the program continued with special lectures by speakers from both institutions on topics related to environmental management, particularly waste management, fostering knowledge creation and strengthening institutional collaboration in the environmental field.
On 18 August 2025, Associate Professor Dr. Kitikorn Charmondusit, Dean of the Faculty of Environment and Resource Studies, Mahidol University, delivered welcoming remarks to graduate students from the School of Civil, Environmental and Chemical Engineering, Changwon National University, Republic of Korea, on the occasion of their academic visit and participation in a series of academic lectures.
The event was coordinated by Associate Professor Dr. Kritana Prueksakorn as the lead coordinator under the academic collaboration framework established by the Memorandum of Understanding between the two institutions.
The program featured distinguished faculty members from the Faculty of Environment and Resource Studies presenting lectures on a range of topics. Dr. Jakkapon Phanthuwongpakdee discussed “Waste Utilization for Bioenergy and Biomaterial,” while Assistant Professor Dr. Preeyaporn Koedrith presented “Santol Water Kefir: A Novel Probiotic Beverage from Tropical Fruit with Geographical Indication.” Associate Professor Dr. Kritana Prueksakorn shared insights on “Sustainable Agrotourism,” and Professor Dr. Duangrudee Inthra covered “Environmental Health and Risk Assessment.”
Following the lectures, Mr. Nontakorn Poodankai, an alumnus of the Bachelor of Science Program in Environmental Science and Technology (ES), shared his experiences studying at Changwon National University.
