The Thailand International Postgraduate Programme (TIPP) was introduced in 2000 as a framework for providing postgraduate scholarships for developing partners. Believing that knowledge sharing is an important pillar of South-South Cooperation, TIPP offers opportunities for Thailand and its partners to exchange their experiences and best practices that would contribute to long-term and sustainable development for all.
Aiming at sharing Thailand’s best practices and experience with the world, the AITC training courses and the TIPP scholarships focus on development topics of our expertise, which can be categorised under six themes, namely, Sufficiency Economy Philosophy (SEP), public health, agriculture and food security, climate change and environmental issues, Bio-Circular-Green Economy (BCG), and other topics related to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which Thailand is proud to introduce as the highlighted theme. SEP has been added to offer an insight into our homegrown development approach, which is the key factor that keeps Thailand on a steady growth path towards sustainable development in many areas.
Through the Annual International Training Course and the Thailand International Postgraduate Programme, TICA believes that we are doing our part to deliver Thailand’s contribution to a sustainable future.
