The 19th National Conference of Economists and Graduate Students in Economics is organised through the collaboration of the Faculty of Economics and the Economics Association of Khon Kaen University, along with 8 leading economics institutions: Chiang Mai University, Chulalongkorn University, Kasetsart University, National Institute of Development Administration, Prince of Songkla University, Ramkhamhaeng University, Srinakharinwirot University, and Thammasat University. The conference aims to create a forum for economists to exchange and apply knowledge in organisational management and teaching; to support graduate students in presenting their theses and disseminating research to the public; and to offer students, academics, and faculty members broad opportunities to share knowledge, opinions, and experiences in economics.
Associate Professor Dr. Sutin Wiwiat, Dean of the Faculty of Economics, Khon Kaen University, stated, “This year’s 19th National Conference of Economists is held under a highly relevant and timely theme, amidst the volatility of the current global economy. It encompasses dimensions such as Geoeconomics, changes in AI technology, new international trade and investment rules, and the future of economic development in the Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS). These are precisely the issues that every economist and academic should collectively study, analyse, and systematically address. ”
The Dean of the Faculty of Economics, Khon Kaen University, further added, “On behalf of the Faculty of Economics, Khon Kaen University, and the 8 co-hosting institutions, I would like to invite faculty members, academics, and students from all institutions nationwide to be a part of this important academic forum. Together, we can exchange knowledge, build academic networks, and collectively shape the trajectory of economic development for Thailand and the GMS region towards a sustainable future.”
This 19th National Conference of Economists and Graduate Students in Economics is a crucial national academic platform that brings together economists, academics, faculty members, and students from leading educational institutions nationwide to exchange knowledge and experiences. This will ultimately lead to the development of high-quality economic knowledge that benefits the development of the country and the region.
