Thammasat University Celebrates WorldNexGen 2026 Project Completion

     Prof. Dr. Supasawad Chardchawarn, Thammasat University Rector, along with Assoc. Prof. Dr. Supreedee Rittironk, Vice President for International Affairs, and Asst. Prof. Dr. Orapan Yolrabil, from Department of Accounting, Faculty of Commerce and Accountancy, participated in the closing ceremony of WorldNexGen 2026 project on February 5, 2026, at the Convention Hall (SNU Faculty Club) of Seoul National University (SNU), Republic of Korea.

     Certificates were awarded to 20 students who completed the WorldNexGen 2026 program by Prof. Dr. Supasawad and Prof. Park San Gook, from Department of Science and Technology Policy at Seoul National University.

     Thammasat and KH Academy, a network of educational partners, have developed the WorldNexGen project in collaboration with SNU, the top university in the Republic of Korea. The project facilitates academic exchange in economics, industry, trade, investment, and socio-cultural aspects across the ASEAN region. Students will participate in active learning to develop future international leaders.

     Prof. Dr. Supasawad described WorldNexGen not just as an academic exchange, but a “platform for collaborative learning” uniting institutions from Bangkok to Seoul. This initiative aims to cultivate future leaders with intellectual strength, cultural understanding, and a global vision, essential for the region and the world. He also offered three key insights to Thammasat students: 1) Use the knowledge and innovations from Seoul to improve Thai society. 2) Maintain this network, as future challenges like digitalization and sustainable development require collaboration. 3) Be an empathetic leader who listens as much as they lead.

     Among many, Mr. Tanee Sangrat, Thai Ambassador to South Korea, H.E. Chung Sye-kyun, former Prime Minister of the Republic of Korea, Prof. Dr. Juhan Kim, Vice President for Research at Seoul National University, Mr. Ahn Duk Geun, former Minister of Trade, Industry, and Energy, Mr. Park Won Joo, former Senior Economic Policy Secretary to the President, Mr. Kim Kang Hak, Chairman of Myungwoon Industry Development, Mr. Peeradech Patthanachanj, Chief Executive Officer of Renewable Energy Development Business at B.Grimm Power Public Company Limited, Mr. Chanchai Sanguanwong, Director of the Business News Newspaper, and Mr. Burapha Sanguanwong, Founder of KH Academy also participated at the ceremony.
