Chula forms 'cities' for Academic Expo

CU Academic Expo 2012 will run from Wednesday to Sunday. As many as 4,000 students, lecturers and personnel will be showcasing the university’s innovations, knowledge and excellent research projects.
The 14th CU Academic Expo will differ from past expos. Faculties with similar knowledge, research and innovations will combine and provide activities in the same “city”. The five “cities” are: health science; science and technology; humanities; social sciences; and interdisciplinary studies.
The Chula Discovery exhibition will be on display at Chamchuri Square, showcasing research and innovation relating to security and energy. Also, current CU students will offer thoughts on their lives studying at the university, and give advice to interested students on how to enter CU and study there.
There will also be a royal exhibition in accordance with the event’s theme, “Pillar of Wisdom – Developing the Country in the Footsteps of His Majesty the King: Towards a Self–Sufficiency Economy”.
Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn will preside over the event’s opening ceremony on Wednesday.
To raise students’ awareness of the Asean Economic Community, students from Asean countries will be given an opportunity to participate in Asean-related activities from today until Friday.
Many knowledgeable and interesting activities await interested visitors at the CU Academic Expo 2012.
