Thailand <Cooperation with Each Country>

1) Field of Cooperation -"Biotechnology"

In May 2009, JST and NSTDA signed an MOU to implement the "Strategic International Research Cooperative Program" (SICP). Under this MOU, JST and NSTDA have mutually agreed to support research within the field of "Biotechnology".

2) Funding Agency on Thailand Side

National Science and Technology Development Agency (NSTDA)
NSTDA was created by the Science and Technology Development Act of 1991 and officially commenced its operations in 1992. It was founded with the explicit aim to "...conduct, support, coordinate, and promote efforts in scientific and technological development between the public and the private sectors towards maximizing benefit for national development..."
