Dr. Subin Pinkayan Chair of the Board, Former Minister of Foreign Affairs of Thailand Prof. Worsak Kanok-Nukulchai President, Asian Institute of Technology 3 / AIT ANNUAL REPORT 2017 MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR OF THE AIT BOARD OF TRUSTEES In 2013, I was called upon to take up the responsibilities as Chair of the Board of Trustees. This was at the height of a very difficult period for AIT, following the inundation of the cam- pus in 2011 followed by the serious governance crisis of 2012. Thanks to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Thailand, which was put in charge of the execution of the AIT Enabling Act, the deadlock that paralyzed AIT was resolved by its declaration of the continued use of the original AIT Charter of 1967 (2510). It was primarily in that spirit that I accepted the daunting task of acting as Chair of the Board. Since then, the Board of Trustees has worked tirelessly to resolve the various remaining governance issues and has successfully put the Institute back on a stronger footing. I would especially like to commend the leadership of the AIT President, Professor Worsak Kanok-Nukulchai, for having systematically and successfully resolved the many administra- tive issues, especially the Institute's financial health and the deteriorating infrastructure of the campus. During his Presidency, AIT has gone through a major process of renaissance. After President Worsak informed the Board that he did not wish to seek a second term, the Board conducted a global search following which a new President was appointed and will take office from September 1, 2018. From this perspective, 2018 is going to be a year of transition from President Worsak to the incoming President. It is very important to ensure that the transition is a smooth one and that the new Administration consolidates and builds upon the good work carried out by President Worsak as we approach the Institute’s 60th an- niversary celebrations. On behalf of the AIT Board of Trustees, we sincerely thank President Worsak for his significant contributions to AIT. In conclusion, I wish to convey my gratitude to all members of the Board of Trustees, Execu- tive Committee, partners, alumni, and friends, who have rendered their full support to AIT and continue to reach out in different ways. Our tasks and responsibilities will continue as we share the same aim, which is to move forward for the betterment and brighter future of the Institute. Dr. Subin Pinkayan Chair Board of Trustees Asian Institute of Technology / 4 AIT ANNUAL REPORT 2017 MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT I assumed the position of AIT President in July 2013, and in 2017, I announced to the Board of Trustees that I would not seek another term of office. In the remaining period until August 31, 2018, my last day in office, I intend to continue focusing my efforts on improving AIT’s govern- ance and ensuring that the Institute’s financial health is in a strong and stable position as we enter the transition to a new president. I am pleased to report that in 2017, the Institute recovered from its worst crisis and is now reasonably healthy. When I took office as Acting President and later as President in 2013, AIT was besieged with many burning issues, while we faced limited resources and a severe loss of trust from our stakeholders in general. Needless to say, in the aftermath of the floods, the AIT community faced one of its most challenging and trying periods.

Siam University (SU) is one of the leading Thai comprehensive private universities of which “Sustainability” is one of the main missions. The mission is guided by the concept of “Sustainable Development (SD)” and the principle of “Sufficiency Economy Philosophy (SEP)” bestowed by the late King Rama IX. SU has endorsed many sustainability policies and projects including those concerned with ecosystem and water management system. Our target groups include SU staff and students as well as members in Phasi Charoen district. SU has encouraged water conservation and management policies and practices including reduction of water usage program for quite some time. Although piped water is still mainly used, we have installed automated hand washing taps counting to more than 75% of total water appliances. Water from the campus natural pond is used and reused for gardening and washing. After this initial stage, we have planned to do more programs concerning water recycling, reuse, and treatment system under the principle of SEP. Considering that our pond and surrounding canals are connected to Phasi Charoen communities, we hope that our water conservation and management system will not only lead to a more sustainable campus but also a more sustainable district.
