AIT and AIT Extension
The Asian Institute of Technology promotes technological change
and sustainable development in the Asian-Pacific region through higher
education, research, and outreach. Established in Bangkok in 1959, AIT has
become a leading regional postgraduate institution and is actively working with
public and private sector partners throughout the region and with some of the
top universities in the world.
AIT Extension is the continuing professional education and short
course training arm of the Asian Institute of Technology. Our short courses
cover the scope of AIT's expertise in management, technology, and development
studies.
For the past three decades, non-degree short courses offered by
the Asian Institute of Technology (AIT) have built on the institute's strengths
and uniqueness – the Institute's unparalleled internationality, our extensive
pool of international faculty and expert resource persons, our network of key
institutions in the region, and a comprehensive accumulation of knowledge and
understanding of socioeconomics, technological levels, and needs of many Asian
countries.
Consistent with the mission of the Asian Institute of Technology, AIT Extension works with a mandate to contribute towards the development of the region through continuing professional education, training, and consultancy services. Over the past three decades, we have offered short courses to some 24,000 professionals from more than 70 countries around the world. AIT Extension works with professionals in national governments, overseas development agencies, multilateral agencies, development institutions, private sectors, investment banks, consultants, and NGOs.
AIT Extension with the faculties from three schools of AIT, forms a team of experts in delivering professional development courses to cater to the needs of the clients in the Asia Pacific region. In this training course, AIT Extension will work with the faculties and researchers from the Sustainable Energy Transition, Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Change, School of Environmental Research Development, AIT. The practical sessions will be held in the technical laboratory facilities of the energy park at AIT and also in recognized technical laboratories in partner Institutes in Thailand.
