Highlights

Thammasat University hosts the 3rd “SDGs for the People” rotating exhibition, featuring 31 outstanding research projects from the Health Sciences faculties.
The exhibition focuses on advancing medical development through modern technology to improve holistic quality of life.
Students from the TU SDGs Museum Ambassador project serve as exhibition guides, practicing communication skills and storytelling for sustainability in a real-world setting.

Thammasat University reaffirms its role as a “University for the People” by launching the third installment of its SDGs for the People exhibition series.

Creating Learning Spaces: Promoting SDGs for the People

At the opening ceremony on March 24, 2026, Asst. Prof. Chon Bunnag, Assistant Rector for Quality Development and Sustainability at Thammasat University, stated that the exhibition aims to establish the university as a social learning hub. It provides an opportunity for all citizens to access knowledge, innovation, and sustainable development pathways, reflecting the power of integrated internal and external networks. This follows the high success of the first exhibition (Science and Technology) and the second (Social Sciences and Humanities).

The event was presided over by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Thira Jearsiripongkul, Vice Rector for Administration (Rangsit Center), who emphasized that the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are not just UN targets but a shared responsibility. He noted that academic institutions play a vital role in generating knowledge, transferring skills, and driving society toward concrete sustainability. He expressed hope that this exhibition would serve as a long-term hub for sustainability learning and inspiration.

5 Innovation Zones for a Healthy and Sustainable Digital Society

The exhibition features 31 research works from Health Science faculties, integrated to address sustainability through five learning zones:

Herbal & Health Products Zone: Enhancing herbs and functional foods with technology to add value to local ingredients and the community economy. Examples include Triphala gummy products, micro-emulsion sprays for psoriasis, and “Anantakun” micro-emulsion gels for pain relief.
MedTech & Smart Devices Zone: Developing precise, accessible smart medical devices for self-monitoring. Highlights include high-quality 3D-printed prosthetic eyes, graphic-based foot pressure analysis tools to prevent falls, and the “VRX” virtual reality exercise machine.
Digital Health & Education Platforms Zone: Utilizing AI and IoT for proactive health surveillance and equitable access to knowledge. Projects include IoT air quality sensors for detecting wildfires and pollutants, and an online health report system for the Allied Health Sciences Health Service Center.
Clinical Care & Social Well-being Zone: Building robust systems for chronic patient care and psychological support. Featured studies include the effects of napping on memory and physical performance in sleep-deprived students, and risk/protective factors for depression among the LGBTQ+ community in Thailand.
Environment & Sustainability Zone: Developing Tele-pharmacy systems to reduce hospital congestion and environmental impact. Projects include sustainable laboratory management skills and greenhouse gas emission assessments at Thammasat University, Lampang Campus.

Additionally, students from the TU SDGs Museum Ambassador project act as docents, using this platform as a practical workspace to develop leadership in communication and sustainability storytelling.
