On June 16, 2026, a major milestone in elevating Thailand’s academic standards was achieved as seven allied higher education institutions officially signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) at Rangsit University to establish the “Human Research Ethics Network.” The seven founding partners include Rangsit University, Dhurakij Pundit University, Stamford International University, Sukhothai Thammathirat Open University, Rajapruk University, Dusit Thani College, and Panyapiwat Institute of Management.
This strategic network aims to strengthen Thailand’s research ecosystem through mutual, sustainable growth. The collaboration focuses on:
Expert Exchange: Developing mechanisms for sharing qualified experts and reviewers across institutions.
Capacity Building: Maximizing the efficiency and quality of human research ethics committees.
Global Recognition: Ensuring Thai research meets international ethical standards within a transparent and robust framework.
