The challenge for the reinvention is to enable students to thrive in a world that needs more imaginative, creative, and innovative talent, not generic workers that can fill seats at an office.

The Aquamimicry Aquaculture Alliance, in cooperation with the Institution of Aquaculture Singapore and
the Asian Institute of Technology, Thailand, will organize the "Aquamimicry Sustainable Shrimp Farming
Workshop" during 7-11 August 2016 in Thailand (Bangkok and Hua Hin). This workshop will be attended
by participants mainly from various Asian countries (Bangladesh, Hong Kong SAR, India, Indonesia,
Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Thailand, Taiwan ROG and Vietnam), who are involved
and interested in sustainable shrimp farming practices and research. This will provide opportunities for
learning and sharing of experiences, as well as building up and strengthening the network among those
concerned about environmentally-friendly aquaculture.
On behalf of the Aquamimicry Aquaculture Alliance (AAA) I would like to cordially invite your honourable
presence in gracing our event, Aquamimicry Aquatainment, by delivering your keynote address and to
officially declare the opening of the workshop at Sheraton Resort & Spa, Hua Hin on 9th August 2016
at 9.00am, in front of the many international farmers and professionals who have travelled many miles
to listen to this capstone Thai technology of Aquamimicry Aquaculture developed by Veerasun
Prayotamornkul.
We believe through Asian Institute of Technology's scientific expertise and leadership in promoting
sustainable aquaculture development, Aquamimicry Aquaculture Alliance (AAA) with her many global
farmers' membership will continue to grow from strength to strength. The close involvement of AIT as
a Supporting Institution of AAA will contribute to· deeper scientific understanding of Aquamimicry and
the knowledge and experiences gained through this workshop will contribute to teaching materials for
universities and extension learning for the international farming community.
IN 2016, AIT JOINS UNESCO CELEBRATE 100TH BIRTH YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF ITS FOUNDING CHAIR OF AIT BOARD OF TRUSTEES.
6 January 2016
This year of 2016, UNESCO will officially celebrate the 100th birth-year anniversary of Dr. Puey Ungphakorn (1916-1993). The recognition was proposed by UNESCO’s Executive Board and adopted by its General Conference on November 2, 2015.
Dr. Puey Ungphakorn was appointed the first Chairman of the AIT Board of Trustees from 1968 to 1973. He was one of Thailand's foremost economists and educators. He had always believed that "education and the economy” complement each other and are symbiotic.
Dr. Puey also served as Governor of the Bank of Thailand from 1957 to 1971. He was Dean of the Economics Faculty at Thammasat University in 1964 and later became Rector of the same University from 1975 to 1976. Dr. Puey passed away in London, UK, on 28 July 1999, at the age of 83.
Dr. Puey played instrumental role in the establishment of the AIT from previously the SEATO Graduate School of Engineering in 1967, especially in securing the present campus land of AIT.
Based on the cabinet resolution on 3 October and 12 December 1967, Dr. Puey was authorized to survey and identify a piece of land suitable to build AIT's new campus as committed by the Royal Thai Government. Dr Puey, as AIT’s Chairman of the Board and at the time Dean of the Faculty of Economics of Thammasat University (TU), wanted AIT, his planned Asian Institute for Economic Development and Planning (AIEDP) and a second campus of TU to be together. He thus decided to choose the Rangsit land which is a state land earmarked for Ministry of Industry, over another smaller piece of land at Nakorn Pathom Province. The Cabinet made a decision to let Ministry of Industry take over TU land of 689 Rai at Bangchan in Minburi, and allow AIT, AIEDP (never materialized) and TU to share the 2400 Rai instead.
On 2 February 1968, the 3 parties agreed to let TU transfer the land deed from the Ministry of Industry, while AIT and AIEDP would be leasees, because a non-Thai entity cannot be a legal holder of state land.
The challenge for the reinvention is to enable students to thrive in a world that needs more imaginative, creative, and innovative talent, not generic workers that can fill seats at an office.
