Prof. Dr. Kosuke Shiraishi2025 JASTIC FellowLaboratory of Microbial Biotechnology, Kyoto University, JapanAs part of the JASTIC Fellows network, I visited the Faculty of Agro-Industry, Chiang Mai University, hosted by Asst. Prof. Dr. Pavalee Chompoorat Tridtitanakiat, a JASTIC Fellow, to strengthen research collaboration between Japan and Thailand in microbial biotechnology and the sustainable bioeconomy.The visit began with a warm welcome from the Faculty of Agro-Industry, followed by discussions on future collaboration between the two institutions. These discussions provided a valuable opportunity to exchange ideas on our complementary research strengths and explore long-term cooperation in biotechnology, food science and sustainable agriculture.During the visit, I delivered a research seminar introducing my research on microbial biotechnology, particularly plant–methylotroph (methanol-utilizing microorganism) interactions and their potential applications in sustainable agriculture. Faculty members, researchers and students actively participated in the discussion, leading to productive exchanges on future collaborative research and opportunities for student and researcher mobility.Following the seminar, students from the Laboratory of Microbial Biotechnology and I toured Chiang Mai University's research facilities, including laboratories in food biotechnology, food engineering, sensory evaluation, and the pilot plant. The visit highlighted the complementary expertise of both institutions and identified several promising opportunities for interdisciplinary collaboration.Looking ahead, Dr. Pavalee and I agreed to continue developing joint research activities, strengthen academic exchanges between Kyoto University and Chiang Mai University, and create new opportunities for early-career researchers within the ASEAN–Japan research community. Our shared vision is to promote sustainable innovation by connecting microbial biotechnology, food science and the bioeconomy through long-term international partnerships.Beyond the UniversityResearch collaboration extends beyond the university. During the visit, Dr. Pavalee kindly guided us through the historic city of Chiang Mai, including one of its iconic temples. These informal conversations provided a valuable opportunity to deepen mutual understanding, strengthen personal connections, and reinforce the trust that underpins successful international collaboration.

‍‍The Franco – Thai Scholarship Program of the Embassy of France in Thailandhttps://www.francothai-science.com/franco-thai-scholarship-programDeadline: February 19, 2026In Partnership withThe Franco – Thai Scholarship Program of the Embassy of France in Thailand aims to support Thai students under aged of 35 years old who intend to study in universities or higher education institutions in France for their Master’s degree or PhD. Open to all fields of study, this program is based on a highly selective call for candidates in order to strengthen high level exchanges between France and Thailand.The Franco-Thai scholarship is granted for the period necessary to obtain the degree: one or two years for a Master’s Degree and three years for a PhD.‍In case of co-supervision, the scholarship will only be granted for the periods spent in France.‍If the curriculum requires some course works which will take place outside France, the scholarship will be suspended during that period. ‍The Franco-Thai scholarship program offers two types of scholarships:‍Full scholarship:‍The full scholarship benefits include:- A monthly allowance;- A roundtrip ticket;- Social protection;- Advantages as the French government's grant holder.‍Social Protection Scholarship/Bourse de Couverture Sociale:‍Social Protection Scholarship or “Bourse de Couverture Sociale” gives access to a specific status, enabling candidates to benefit from social protection in France and other specific advantages (exemption from visa fees, CVEC fees and tuition fees for some public higher education institutions’ program,...). The “Bourse de Couverture Sociale” can only be granted if a cost-sharing agreement insures a monthly allowance to the scholar, since it will not be provided by the Franco-Thai program for this type of scholarship.‍Cost-sharing:‍Both Master and PhD Applicants are highly encouraged to look for other sources of funding not only from his/her own local or foreign university but also from private sector. A specific attention will be given to academic applicants who have found other sources of funding for their project.Some doctoral schools ask for a higher monthly income than the monthly allowance granted by this scholarship program. Students applying to those doctoral schools have to check and coordinate with the French laboratory or doctoral school to secure additional funding.‍‍Tuition fees‍Please note that the Franco-Thai Scholarship Program does not cover tuition fees.For some Master’s taught in French at a public university and for PhD programs, being a scholar of the French Government will entail that the tuition fees will be lifted. It is the candidate’s responsibility to check the amount of the tuition fees for the program he/she is applying to.‍In order to identify grant recipients, the selection committee will consider: - The candidate’s skills and merit as borne out by his/her academic record and professional background; - The quality of the study plan. Contacts with the Master’s degree or thesis supervisors and progress of the project submitted will also be taken into account; - The strong and firm interest of the candidate in pursuing studies with regards to his/her previous studies and professional project; - The level of proficiency in foreign languages (French or English) and its adequacy with the intended curriculum; - Other sources of funding to support the project; - For PhDs applicants, the selection committee will favor PhDs under joint supervision and commitment of Thai and French supervisors will be decisive.
