The ultimate goal of science and technology development is to improve the quality of life and serve the society, and this goal can only be achieved with the development of social sciences in tandem.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A lot of interesting ideas were suggested during the meeting such as&nbsp;i) new education system for the young generation, ii) promotion of kindness and understanding of Thai origin, iii) utilizing creativity in the process of identifying problems and taking actions. Minister&nbsp;Suvit&nbsp;stressed that we should be working towards sustainable and inclusive growth. To achieve this growth, a platform to connect knowledge from various disciplines needs to be developed and utilized&nbsp;by&nbsp;the academia and policy makers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nxpo.or.th\/th\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/image-24.jpeg\" alt=\"A group of people sitting at a table\n\nDescription automatically generated\" class=\"wp-image-4264\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nxpo.or.th\/th\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/image-24.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.nxpo.or.th\/th\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/image-24-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.nxpo.or.th\/th\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/image-24-768x512.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nxpo.or.th\/th\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/image-23.jpeg\" alt=\"A group of people posing for the camera\n\nDescription automatically generated\" class=\"wp-image-4263\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nxpo.or.th\/th\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/image-23.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.nxpo.or.th\/th\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/image-23-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.nxpo.or.th\/th\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/image-23-768x512.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nxpo.or.th\/th\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/image-25.jpeg\" alt=\"A group of people sitting at a table\n\nDescription automatically generated\" class=\"wp-image-4265\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nxpo.or.th\/th\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/image-25.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.nxpo.or.th\/th\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/image-25-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.nxpo.or.th\/th\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/image-25-768x512.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NXPO hosted a meeting on 21 February 2020 to discuss re [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3686,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[30],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4262","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-en"],"featured_image_src":"https:\/\/www.nxpo.or.th\/th\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/\u0e1b\u0e23\u0e30\u0e0a\u0e38\u0e21\u0e2b\u0e32\u0e23\u0e37\u0e2d_200221_0002.jpg","author_info":{"display_name":"admin","author_link":"https:\/\/www.nxpo.or.th\/th\/author\/adminsti\/"},"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.nxpo.or.th\/th\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/\u0e1b\u0e23\u0e30\u0e0a\u0e38\u0e21\u0e2b\u0e32\u0e23\u0e37\u0e2d_200221_0002.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nxpo.or.th\/th\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4262","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nxpo.or.th\/th\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nxpo.or.th\/th\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nxpo.or.th\/th\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nxpo.or.th\/th\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4262"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.nxpo.or.th\/th\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4262\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4267,"href":"https:\/\/www.nxpo.or.th\/th\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4262\/revisions\/4267"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nxpo.or.th\/th\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3686"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nxpo.or.th\/th\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4262"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nxpo.or.th\/th\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4262"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nxpo.or.th\/th\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4262"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
