On Monday, November 18, 2024, the Khon Kaen University Ethics Committee (KKU) held a mobile meeting at the Faculty of Technology, chaired by Mr. Surapol Petchwara, a distinguished member of the University Council. The meeting was held with the Faculty of Technology Ethics Committee to create a good atmosphere and exchange knowledge between the Khon Kaen University Ethics Committee and the Department Ethics Promotion Committee. The summary of the content is as follows:

1. Concepts about technology
   • Technology should be “Technology For Life” for the benefit of humans and society, not just divided into Low or High Technology.
   • Thailand has biodiversity that can be used to create added value, such as biotechnology, but it is still lacking in its full potential.
2. Faculty of Technology Report
   • Since 2017, the Ethics Promotion Committee has been established to improve its work to be in line with university regulations, such as promoting equality, avoiding violence, and fostering public awareness.
   • The current board has representatives from both academic and support sectors and is committed to working on ethics issues at all levels.
3. Ethical promotion activities
   • Public relations clip contest on the topic of “Cultivating Ethical Consciousness”
   • Mental development training for work
   • Improving the ethics website and adding channels for receiving complaints, such as QR Code and a direct line to the dean.
   • Awarding of the “Sri Fueng Fa” award to honor ethical personnel
4. Opinions on ethics and standards
   • “Appropriateness” and “appropriateness” depend on the situation and the person. Setting standards requires understanding and adapting them to the context.
