These universities share one admirable mission to advocate the creation of the management and administration system for more rigorous university-society engagement and the integration of all aspects of their missions for the benefit of the society. Such system will call for a development of manpower who are passionate about engagement ideology and equipped with knowledge of and skills for undertaking university-society engagement activities in a systematic and sustainable manner. When this set of manpower works in the system created, it will bring about 3 higher recognition of academic works that aims to serve and benefit the society. Socially-engaged Scholarship Then, development of quality assurance system for those academic works will follow, which ultimately will put Thailand’s higher education in the forefront of the international arena as a leader in the university-society engagement, embracing firmly the four key principles of: 1. Partnership 2. Mutual benefits 3. Knowledge sharing and scholarship 4. Measurable social impact This collection of university-society engagement academic articles is deemed as one of the collaborative efforts among the members of EnT. It aims to showcase impressive university-society engagement activities from multiple perspectives, be it location, method, or academic discipline, all of which are truly established on the four principles above. It is my hope that the articles in this collection will be an inspiration for all to produce more works of this nature for the mutual benefit for both the universities and society. Professor Dr. Wichit Srisa-an, Chairman Engagement Thailand Message from The Thailand Research Fund University Community Engagement has been a global trend during the past 5 years. In Europe, North America, Australia and Asia, there have been increasing expectations for university to deliver services and solution to the impending crises many countries are facing. In Thailand, the Engagement Thailand Network was established in 2013, with the Knowledge Network Institute of Thailand as its secretariat. Later on, 14 universities joined the International Conference on “Innovation and Creativity: Collaboration with communities to tackle problems across ASEAN, Asia and beyond” in Bali, Indonesia, in November 2014. Upon the post-conference resolution, the 14 universities agreed that Thailand should compile cases studies that demonstrate the socially engaged scholarly work that could help 4 exemplify and promote a wider understanding. The Thailand Research Fund is honored to grant support to this project which aims to 1) compile case studies of social engagement in Thailand that could set a good example and 2) develop social engagement criteria for selection of exemplary case study. In developing selection criteria, Engagement Thailand has convened the Academic Sub-com- mittee and the Membership and Network Sub-committee and came up with 2 sets of assessment criteria: • Quantitative assessment includes partnership, mutual benefits, knowledge sharing and scholarship and measurable social impact • Qualitative assessment is based on the summary viewpoint of assessment expert groups The assessment process was intensive, including renowned experts in multi disciplines. The cases studies presented in this book are the result, comprising 41 cases from 17 universities and 4 Socially-engaged Scholarship institutional case studies, a total of 45. Several pieces were TRF-supported research with varying nature, ranging from Community Based Research, Area Based Collaborative Research to Translational Research, while many pieces came from university supported and other granting agencies. The credit for this exceptional work is due to the Knowledge Network Institute of Thailand. The Thailand Research Fund hopes it could help generate the general public understanding of socially engaged research, the value of utilizing knowledge to solve the country’s problems, thereby fulfilling TRF’s mandate to promote wisdom for national development. Dr.Silaporn Buasai Deputy Director The Thailand Research Fund Message from Secretary Engagement Thailand In 2014, a group of Thai universities decided to form a network to promote university engagement with society. The network, called Engagement Thailand (EnT) - after Engagement Australia from whom the idea originated--, under the leadership of Prof. Vichit Srisa-an, aims to enhance understanding and deepening Thai university engagement through exchange of experiences and good practices. It has as guiding principles four criteria for engagement activities, i.e., partnership, knowledge sharing and scholarship, mutual benefits, and measurable social impact. Meetings and training workshops were organized to promote activities along these four principles. Fifty universities as well as a number of individuals and one research funding agency have joined the network. Three annual conferences have been organized, as well as three study trips (to Australia and Indonesia). 5 This book is part of EnT’s efforts to bring to light real-life examples of Thai university engagement, especially with local communities. Fifty case studies -- 41 projects and 4 institutional cases-- are Socially-engaged Scholarship represented here. The cases were selected through a blind review, each by three reviewers, and endorsed overall by the Scholarship Sub-committee of EnT. Each case offers a different context, history, content and method of engagement, but it is insisted that the four aspects of engagement mentioned above always be made clear in the document. Financial support for the project was provided by the Thailand Research Fund, for which we gratefully acknowledge. As there are more than 170 universities, more than 60,000 university personnel, and more than 2 million students in Thailand, fifty cases is a very small representation of Thai university involvement with society. For this reason, we see the present book as just a beginning, and we look forward to seeing more examples of good practices on university engagement from many other sources in the near future.
