The 1st Global Alliance Lab between King Mongkut's Institute of Technology Ladkrabang, Thailand and the University of Electro-Communications

The 1st Global Alliance Lab (GAL) between King Mongkut's Institute of Technology Ladkrabang, Bangkok, Thailand, and the University of Electro-Communications was set up at both universities on August 2014 with the help of Office for Promotion of Advanced IT and Global Creative Engineering Education.

The main aims of GAL include establishing international collaboration academic activities including bi-directional student exchange programs, internships, special lectures by faculty members from both universities, and research collaboration.

One of the unique features of GAL is that both universities can set up space on each other's campus for faculty members, researchers and students to use during their visit.

The GAL will facilitate continuous international collaboration activities between the two universities. Furthermore, members of other GALs can also use the network. In 2014, four UEC students stayed at the KMITL GAL at for a short summer exchange student program.

On September 1st, Professor Ikeda and Professor Hamano, of the UEC International Exchange Center visited to the KMITL GAL to discuss the UEC JUSST program.
Another international project underway is on the development and competition of internet based remote controlled robotic systems. Both students and faculty collaborate on the design, fabrication and remote control between KMITL and UEC via the GALs.

Other GALs are being prepared to strengthen international relations on research and education in Russia, China, Taiwan, France, and USA.
