DESY extends cooperation with Thailand
Germany’s largest accelerator centre strengthens cooperation with scientists in Thailand, with the aim to extend the exchange of knowledge, experience, equipment, and employees and students. In the presence of HRH Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn, DESY Director Prof. Helmut Dosch and representatives of the Thai Synchrotron Light Research Institute SLRI, the Thailand Center of Excellence in Physics and the Thai National Science and Technology Development Agency signed a corresponding Memorandum of Understanding.
Signing of the MoU in Bangkok.
The extension of cooperation includes all research fields of DESY: accelerator physics, photon science, and particle and astroparticle physics. "With this step, we strengthen our traditionally good relations to research institutes in Thailand," Dosch emphasized. "Thailand is a dynamic country with a very high scientific potential in research with synchrotron radiation. We are glad to intensify the mutually beneficial and fruitful exchange."
Cooperation between DESY and its Thai partners was already agreed earlier, e.g. at the photo injector test facility PITZ in Zeuthen or for the support of young Thai students in the DESY Summer Student Programme which will now be upgraded.
