Newton UK-Thailand Joint Research on BCG
The UK-Thailand Research and Innovation Partnership Fund is the first formal research and innovation partnership programme between the UK and Thai Governments. To date, there has been total of 19 Newton programmes which are divided into three categories: people, research and translation. The UK and Thailand will jointly invest £46 million (THB 1,840 million) from 2014 until 2021.
Over seven years of implementation, the UK-Thailand Research and Innovation Partnership Fund has contributed to improving Thailand’s research and innovation system, and consequently has made a material difference to the quality of people’s lives through funding providing fund to Ph.D. students, researchers and government officials.
Because problems from resource scarcity (such as food, water and energy), environmental degradation, increasing vulnerability to the effects of climate change and risks from disease and natural hazards have still disproportionately impacted on Thailand, three joint research programmes on health and agritech which have co-funded by NSTDA are highlighted.
- UK-Thailand Health Research to tackle the important infectious diseases focusing on vaccine development, drug resistance, detection, diagnostic kits, and outbreak prediction system.
- Rice Research to build on the combined strengths of academic research groups within China, the Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam and the UK to work together on collaborative interdisciplinary research that underpin the long-term sustainable production of rice.
- Swine and Poultry Research underpin the development of novel strategies to diagnose, prevent, manage or treat microbiological diseases of swine and poultry, to promote safe, healthy, resilient and sustainable food production systems in China and/or South East Asia and reduce the potential incidence of zoonotic disease.
