History

The Ministry of Education and the UNISIST Committee recognized the importance of accurate and comprehensive information for research agencies and the private sector. Therefore, the “Thai National Information System – THAI NATIS” was established to collect, store, and manage data for effective national development. The Cabinet approved the project and authorized its implementation on December 2, 1986, along with the formation of the National Science Information System Steering and Coordination Committee (GOS) to oversee and develop the system in accordance with international standards.

1. National Information Systems – THAI NATIS refers to systems, processes, and activities for collecting, storing, managing, and linking data to effectively support national development in accordance with international standards.

The Prime Minister was appointed as the chairperson of the GOS committee on April 8, 1987, and chaired three meetings. This led to the appointment of subcommittees for coordinating information centers in various fields, including agriculture, medicine, humanities, science, technology, economics, and social sciences. The project was revised in collaboration with the Policy Committee Office and the Ministry of Education to focus exclusively on academic information, excluding confidential government data. Consequently, the name was changed from “National Information System” to “National Science Information System.”
