Following the enactment of the National Science, Technology and Innovation (STI) Act in 2008, the National Science, Technology and Innovation Policy and Plan was formulated for the period from 2012-2021. It identifies challenging issues impacting the development of science, technology and innovation (STI) that better serve the needs of Thailand’s economy and society throughout the next decade. The Policy and Plan outlines the ways in which Thailand can benefit from STI in preparation for confronting domestic, regional and global challenges. The National STI Policy and Plan is published in Thai language.
