After the visit, Dr.Ekachai and Prof. Wu signed the memorandum of understanding (MOU) on the behalf of their own schools, planning to enhance the official co-operation between the two schools in education and scientific research. Under the framework of the agreement, one of the graduate students from the Sirindhorn International Thai-German Graduate School of Engineering will be finishing his graduation project in School of Energy Science and Engineering in HIT from this September.
