Khon Kaen University, through its Legal and Communications division, organised a media tour of the university’s key projects under the “Khon Kaen University Delivers Happiness and Meets Local Media Networks” programme on 9 June 2026 at the Sirikunakorn Building. The initiative provided an opportunity for media representatives to learn about the progress of the university’s research, innovations, and major strategic projects, whilst fostering cooperation to widely disseminate information to the general public.
During the event, the media delegation visited an exhibition showcasing and commercialising batteries integrated with solar cell systems and inverters.
