Ladkrabang: Ladkrabang Exhibition 2026, a collaborative effort by King Mongkut's Institute of Technology Ladkrabang (KMITL) and its Research and Innovation Services (KRIS), is gearing up to showcase groundbreaking research projects funded by FF grants on a global stage. The event, themed 'From Lab to Life,' aims to highlight the innovative strides made by researchers in transforming academic research into practical solutions.
According to Thai News Agency, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Komsan Maleesee, President of KMITL, emphasized the event's importance as a platform to display the potential of KMITL researchers who have received Basic Funding (FF) grants for the 2025 fiscal year. The exhibition will not only present their work but also provide an avenue for knowledge exchange and expert feedback to enhance research effectiveness.
KRIS at KMITL plays a pivotal role in promoting research and innovation through this grand event, which will take place from September 1-6, 2026, at KMITL's campus. The exhibition aims to reinforce KRIS's vision of being a world-class leader in innovation by involving all faculties and colleges within KMITL to display their outstanding research and innovations.
The event offers a unique opportunity for students, parents, alumni, and the public to explore advanced innovations, with several research projects poised for commercialization and social development. This underscores the significant role of KRIS in driving the research community and fostering a robust research ecosystem within KMITL.
KRIS's efforts extend beyond showcasing current projects as it manages research funded under the Fundamental Fund (FF) for the 2025 fiscal year, ensuring their accessibility and utilization by entrepreneurs, industry, and the public. This initiative aims to improve researchers' Past Performance Scores (RPP Scores) and contribute positively to the economy and society, supported by Strategic Fund (SF) funding for achieving national strategic objectives.
In addition to the exhibition, the event also included an award ceremony for outstanding personnel and researchers, with Professor Dr. Wisanu Petchapha, Vice President for Research and Innovation at KMITL, presenting awards to honor and encourage researchers for their dedication to innovation and national development.
The King Mongkut's Institute of Technology Ladkrabang Research and Innovation Management Office (KRIS) remains committed to bridging the gap between laboratory research and real-world applications, fostering collaboration between researchers, industry, and society to propel KMITL towards becoming a world-class innovative university.
