In accordance with the academic cooperation agreement signed between Kasetsart University, Thailand and IPB University (Institut Pertanian Bogor), Indonesia, on June 12, 2024, the administrations of both institutions have agreed to develop a joint research project. This collaborative research project involves researchers from both universities working together on critical issues related to agriculture, food, and biodiversity under the “Co-Research Project Collaboration between IPB and KU (CRPC-IPB&KU) Grant.” The project aims to address global challenges through interdisciplinary research and to leverage shared interests, complementary strengths, and the expertise and resources of both universities. It is designed to foster knowledge exchange, capacity building, and innovation development to tackle major regional challenges.

 The CRPC-IPB&KU Grant also supports experienced researchers in international collaboration and emerging researchers promoting sustainable and ongoing high-quality research. Through this grant, significant research contributions are expected to advance scientific knowledge and strengthen academic ties between Indonesia and Thailand. This aligns with Kasetsart University’s four-year strategic plan (2024-2027), specifically Strategic Goal 2: International Academic Excellence, and the New 9 S-Curve for Future KU policy focusing on Collaborative University and Innovative and Creative initiatives.

We invite faculty members and researchers from both Kasetsart University and IPB University (Institut Pertanian Bogor) to apply for the “Co-Research Project Collaboration between IPB and KU (CRPC-IPB&KU) Grant” from now until December 10, 2024.
