   On November 5, 2024, Asst. Prof. Dr. Rujira Ouncharoen, Dean of the International College of Digital Innovation at Chiang Mai University, paid a visit to Tongji University’s School of Transportation Engineering in Shanghai, China. The visit marked a significant milestone in academic and research collaboration between the two institutions.

   Dr. Ouncharoen toured Tongji University’s world-class facilities, including the Integrated Rail Transit Testing Center, the National Engineering Research Center for Maglev Transportation, and the High-Speed Maglev Testing Line. These cutting-edge centers demonstrate China’s leadership in advanced rail technology and innovation, offering valuable insights into their applications for international transportation systems.

   During the visit, the two parties engaged in discussions about Chiang Mai University’s pioneering project to develop a Logistics and Supply Chain Management Information System. This system aims to connect China and Thailand’s railway networks, facilitating the efficient export of goods to Africa, Europe, Malaysia, and Singapore. The project reflects the growing importance of digital innovation in modern transportation and supply chain solutions.

   The two institutions discuss further collaborations and plan to sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), laying the foundation for long-term collaboration. The MoU will outline joint efforts in research, academic exchange, and the application of digital technologies to enhance regional and global transportation systems.

   This partnership highlights the shared commitment of Chiang Mai University and Tongji University to advancing sustainable and efficient transportation solutions through innovation and cooperation. The collaboration is poised to drive forward-looking initiatives that benefit both nations and contribute to the broader goals of regional connectivity and economic development.
