SDG 9: Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure
Advancing Research, Innovation, and Intellectual Property — Year: 2024
Nakhon Si Thammarat Rajabhat University (NSTRU) places strong emphasis on advancing research and development outcomes toward innovations that can be applied in practice and protected under the law. In recent years, the university has secured registration for intellectual property (IP) arising directly from its research projects. The portfolio currently comprises six items: three petty patents already approved and issued, and three invention patents under application and review.
All such intellectual property are concrete outcomes of research projects financed through external agencies and attest to the research quality and innovative capability of the university’s personnel.
