Faculty/department must have an effective cooperation agreement with foreign institutions/departments. In cases where the agreement is not yet effective, evidence-based activities conducted collaboratively on an ongoing basis must be demonstrated. 

Collaborative activities with foreign institutions/agencies should involve entities ranked in the QS Ranking or THE Ranking (in the case of educational institutions), or institutions recognized as leaders in their respective fields, demonstrating international expertise and operations. 

The faculty/department should have a history of engaging in collaborative activities with foreign higher education institutions/agencies and seek to strengthen this cooperation without limitations. These activities may include staff and student exchanges, study visits, discussion meetings, research initiatives, joint curriculum development, publication of work, joint management of intellectual property, and more. 

Collaborative academic activities must have clear objectives that align with the guidelines for operations in all six areas as outlined in the university’s development plan, Phase 13. Furthermore, these activities should be consistent with the university’s sustainable development goals, aiming to enhance global visibility and further expand the university’s expertise. 

Priority will be given to faculty/departments that did not submit a project proposal during the first call for proposals. Departments that already received budget allocations for supporting the OFOM project in the first call will be considered in subsequent rounds. 

Special consideration will be given to faculty/departments with international certifications. 

Faculty/departments selected to participate in the project will receive a budget of 300,000 baht per project, covering travel and accommodation expenses. The university will consider supporting additional expenses such as visa costs, travel insurance, souvenirs, etc. Any expenses beyond those specified will be the responsibility of the department.”
