AIT Develops Global Citizens
AIT serves as a politically neutral platform in Asia for sustainable development through global collaboration in education, research, and capacity building. It was established in Thailand in 1959 and has evolved from a teaching university to a research university, focusing on innovation and global issues. AIT develops global citizens through internationally focused education and research on cross-border issues like climate change, disasters, and wastewater management.
