Under the promotion of the Overseas Center for Clean Water and Sustainable Energy (WISE Center), National Tsing Hua University (NTHU) has established a tight academic collaboration with top research Institutes and Universities in Thailand. The development of international collaboration in renewable energy and environmental technology is important. Therefore, NHTU and Kasetsart University (KU), Thailand have jointly organized the 2024 International Symposium on Sustainable Energy and Environmental for Circular Economy (SEECE 2024) on August 4-6, 2024.
