This year, the meeting will be held as a virtual platform on November 12th, 2021, and November 19th, 2021
During the meeting, the advisory board received a brief update on the research progress and the strategic research and innovation management at the Faculty of Medicine Siriraj Hospital, Mahidol University, since the last meeting in 2019. There was then a further discussion about the current limitation in the research ecosystem and funding management. In addition, the board provided advice on potential supporting mechanisms and opportunities with industrial partners. As always, this was our great honor and pleasure to learn from the advisory committee members. We have certainly gained numerous insights and new ideas that will assist us immensely in research transformation at our Faculty, which eventually may lead to a significant impact at the national level.
