The 6th RMUTP International Conference on Science, Technology and Innovation for Sustainable Development: Current Challenges towards Creative and Green Economy
Rajamangala University of Technology Phra Nakhon, abbreviated as RMUTP, held an international conference called the 6th RMUTP International Conference on Science, Technology and Innovation for Sustainable Development: Current Challenges towards Creative and Green Economy on July 15-16, 2015 at the Infinity conference room, Pullman Bangkok King Power Hotel.
On day 1, we were honored by the presence of Prof. Chaiyos Hemarajata as Chairman of the University Council, who presided over the opening ceremony of the 6th RMUTP International Conference and also delivered a memorable speech for all attendants.
After the opening ceremony, it was followed by special lectures by two keynote speakers. The first subject was focused on the “Development of Lead-Free Piezoelectric Ceramics and their Future Prospect,” by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Hajime Nagata, a lecturer from Tokyo University of Science—informally called Rikadai. Dr. Hajime Nagata is a top-ten junior Associate Professor at Rikadai and recently received a Young Scientist award of Japan in 2012. In the afternoon, the conference continued with a special lecture on “Green Technology,” by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Vissanu Meeyou, a lecturer from Mahanakorn University of Technology.
Apart from the special lectures of those two keynote speakers mentioned above, there were many interesting subjects during the afternoon: a lecture on Environment by the Industrial Environment Institute of the Federation of Thai Industries, and a presentation on Using Scopus as a Research and Publishing Tool by the Scopus team— which were a sponsor of the 6th RMUTP International Conference.
In the evening of day 1, RMUTP arranged a thank-you party for the keynote speakers which had many spectacular shows: Thai traditional dance, Muaythai show and a concert featuring RMUTP students.
On day 2, the conference consisted of oral presentations—from both domestic and international presenters; e.g. Lifetime Simulations of Rechargeable Batteries for Solar Powered Fishing Lights by Dr. Gunther Bohn, a lecturer of University of Applied Sciences Wurzburg; Cumulative Rainfall Rate and Rain Attenuation Prediction Model at Vientiane, Laos by Dr. Bounthavy Sengnouanxay, a lecturer of National University of Lao; Awareness and Practice in Green Technology of College Students by Dr. Meah Gonzaga, a lecturer of Philipine Normal University Visayas—and poster presentations reserved only for Thai researchers, due to the intention of using the conference as an open stage for researchers with outstanding research but had not reached English proficiency.
RMUTP holds the International Conference annually in July of each year with a desire to build on each year’s countinued successes.
