After the successful relaunch of administrative operations, the Asian Institute of Technology (AIT) is geared towards return to academic operations from 6 December 2011. Academic activities are now moving towards a return to normalcy, following the enormous flood disaster that inundated the AIT campus almost one month ago.

Complimenting the Asian Institute of Technology (AIT) for its recovery operations after facing its worst ever disaster, Chubu University, Japan, has decided to contribute one million Yen towards disaster recovery for AIT.

Asian Institute of Technology (AIT) has constituted four task forces for creating its Recovery, Reconstruction and Rehabilitation Plan. At a meeting organized at AIT’s temporary office at Chulalongkorn University, the University President Prof. Said Irandoust presented the draft framework for the rebuilding plan of AIT.

How can an Institute which is already flooded help others cope with the situation? How can it generate information products to grapple with floods, when it is itself faced with a disaster?

Students from University of Borås, Sweden, have launched a fund raising drive for helping rebuild the flood ravaged Asian Institute of Technology (AIT). Recognizing that AIT is a partner Institute of the University of Borås, a group of students have launched a drive asking everyone to visit the AIT website (http://www.ait.asia/support.php) and contribute to AIT.
