Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) Sweden and AIT Discuss Partnerships in Two-stage Programs
Various partnerships that could be undertaken between Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) Sweden and AIT in relevant fields such as energy and environment, sustainable tourism etc. were discussed during the visit of Professor Ivo Martinac of KTH Sweden to AIT on 11 July. Modalities of the collaboration could be through two-stage masters programs, faculty from KTH helping teach at AIT funded by Swedish agencies and organizations. We also plan on organizing joint seminars and workshops for policy/decision makers in areas related to climate change, sustainable energy etc. Professor Martinac has kindly offered to look into this further and will come back to us with concrete proposals.
Professor Martinac was welcomed by and met with AIT President Said Irandoust, Professor Peter Haddawy, Vice President for Academic Affairs; Professor S. K. Rakshit, Vice President for Research; Vice President Khin Ni Ni Thein; Professor I. M. Pandey, Dean, School of Management; Professor Ram Shrestha, Dr. M. Nadarajah, and Dr. Preeda Parkpian.
