Another important moment of the event, “ST&I New ERA,” reflected that “change” doesn’t stop at just a concept. Dr. Phuwadee Toojinda, Director of the Digital Science Service Institute, presented a realistic picture of the country’s science and technology information system transformation, towards practical application in the AI ​​and Open Science era. 📌 From data connectivity, 📌 to seamless access to knowledge, 📌 and upgrading information services to meet the needs of users in the digital age. Today, we share the video recording of the ST&I in Action session, to give you a glimpse of the “future” that is already unfolding today. vdo : linkUrl 0

On Wednesday, July 9, 2025, Dr. Phuwadee Toojinda, Director of the Digital Science Service Institute and Chair of the Science and Technology Information Coordination Center (STICC) Working Group, assigned Ms. Udomlak Wiengngam, Director of the Science Library, Dr. Tua Lapanukrom, Secretary and STICC Working Group member, to preside over the opening ceremony of the training and study visit.The activity was held under the curriculum “Enhancing Science and Future Career Capabilities for the Development of Science, Technology, and Innovation (STI) Information Resources”. It took place at the National Science Museum (NSM) in Pathum Thani Province, with the objective of upgrading the knowledge and skills of personnel in the STICC network from 31 organizations nationwide. The aim was to enable them to apply STI knowledge to the development and management of information resources, in order to create a strong information and learning service network, ready to adapt to changes in the future world. The activity was divided into two parts: the morning session consisted of listening to lectures on the topic… The morning session focused on “Creating Media and Activities for Science Communication in the Digital Age,” presented by distinguished speakers from NSM (National Science Museum Thailand). The afternoon session involved a field trip to two exhibition sections: Section 1, the Future Innovation Learning Center and Career Testing (Job World), which connects science and engineering and showcases over 27 model careers; and Section 2, the Innovation World exhibition, presenting innovative concepts in science and technology to improve quality of life and prepare for the future society. This activity marks a significant step in developing the network of agencies under the National Science Museum Thailand (NSM) and inspires the promotion of a national knowledge base and the sustainable development of human capital in science, technology, and innovation (STI), aligning with NSM’s vision of being a knowledge center for national development in the 21st century. 0

On Thursday, November 6, 2025, the Department of Science Service (DSS), through the Digital Science Service Institute, held the first meeting of 2025 on “Guidelines for Linking the ST&I Single Search System with Pilot Agencies” at the Institute’s meeting room in the Dr. Tua Lapanukrom Science Library Building, Department of Science Service. Representatives from key pilot agencies, including the Department of Industrial Promotion, the Office of Industrial Standards, and the Department of Mineral Resources, along with project consultants, system developers, and researchers, participated in the meeting.The objective of this meeting was to foster a shared understanding of the guidelines for linking the information databases of various agencies to the central “ST&I Single Search” system, currently under development. The goal is to create a central channel for convenient, comprehensive, and secure access to national science, technology, and innovation information.Key details considered included data structure, metadata, and protocols; technical approaches for system linkage; and the collaborative roles of each involved agency. Progress reports and future operational plans under the framework of the Science and Technology Information Coordination Center (STIC) network were also presented.This meeting marks a significant step in driving the development of a national information system that promotes systematic access to scientific information, aligning with the government’s digital policy. And the management of data in a standardized and user-friendly manner for all target groups. 0

November 17, 2025 – The Department of Science Service held the first meeting of the Science, Technology and Innovation (STI) website development working group for 2026, chaired by Dr. Phuwadee Toojinda, Director of the Digital Science Service Institute (DSS), at the Akramethi Meeting Room, 6th floor, Department of Science Service. Representatives from 30 organizations in the STI website development working group network participated in the meeting, which was also conducted online via Zoom to facilitate participation from network representatives nationwide. The meeting focused on discussing the development of the national science, technology, and innovation (STI) information center website, which will function as a “Sci Knowledge Hub” connecting knowledge from government and private sector organizations in a systematic, standardized, and accessible manner in one place under the ST&I Single Search (One-Stop Search for Science and Technology of Thailand). During the meeting, Ms. Udomlak Wienngam, Director of the Dr. Tua Lapanukrom Science Library, from the working group’s secretariat, reported on the progress of the work to the meeting participants. To consider the framework for the development direction of the NSTDA website, all agencies jointly exchanged opinions on both content and technical aspects regarding the design of the website’s data structure and search system, as well as developing the website to be consistent with the Government Website Template 3.0. This is to ensure security, ease of access, and the needs of all user groups, which will enhance the potential for searching and accessing research and innovation in the country efficiently. NSTDA and all network agencies are committed to pushing the central science and technology information website to become the country’s science and technology information infrastructure, supporting learning, research, industry, and policy making, as well as strengthening Thailand’s competitiveness under a stable and sustainable knowledge-based economy. 0

From “Library” to “Knowledge Platform” From “Search” to “AI-Powered Access in One Click” Seminar “Science and Technology Research Institute New ERA: Transforming Science and Technology Libraries for the AI and Open Science Era” Not just a seminar… but the beginning of connecting knowledge across the country Today we share some photos from the event. Filled with energy, collaboration, and vision from networks nationwide. Because the future of knowledge… should not be confined to “one place” but must be “accessible to everyone” 0
