The Environmental Social Science (ESS) Program, School of Liberal Arts, KMUTT, Strengthens Academic Collaboration Toward Sustainable Development 

On February 11, 2026, the School of Liberal Arts, King Mongkut’s University of Technology Thonburi (KMUTT), led by Assistant Professor Dr. Nattajaree Jaturapitakkul, Dean of the School of Liberal Arts and authorized representative of the University President, formally signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for academic collaboration with ALS Laboratory Group (Thailand) Co., Ltd., represented by Ms. Yupaporn Chanpleng, Assistant General Manager, Environmental Monitoring Business Division. 

The collaboration aims to: 

✅ Develop knowledge and produce qualified professionals in Environmental Social Science 

✅ Strengthen academic, research, and academic service networks 

✅ Collaboratively design and enhance teaching and learning, research initiatives, and academic activities 

✅ Support workforce development and sustainable development initiatives at both community and national levels   

The ceremony was held in a warm, collegial atmosphere, during which both organizations discussed future operational directions for this partnership to benefit society and the nation. We believe that “environmental knowledge” must be integrated with “real-world experience.” This collaboration will therefore contribute to developing graduates who are well-prepared to create positive environmental and social change across multiple dimensions. 

🌱 ESS is committed to advancing education alongside collaborative partnerships to promote sustainable social and environmental development.
