During the meetings, Khon Kaen University expressed its intention to advance cooperative activities with EIU. Notably, Khon Kaen University highly valued the potential for collaboration in the fields of Engineering and Information Technology, given EIU’s innovative ecosystem with facilities such as the Industrial 4.0 Innovation Center, Advanced Manufacturing Center (AMC), Sustainable Solutions Center, and Cybersecurity Center. These units can provide internship opportunities for students in relevant specialties. Additionally, this ecosystem opens up opportunities for cooperation in renewable energy, sustainable solutions, robotics, system integration, Industry 4.0, electric power, autonomous mobile robots, signal processing, and image processing. Moreover, KKU believes that competitions like EIU – MCR (Microcomputer Car Rally 2024) and F1Tenth – EIU (Autonomous Mobile Robot 2025) will provide valuable experiences and knowledge for students from both institutions.
