These researchers represent five distinct fields:
- Engineering – Dr. Ornluck Phichitkul, Suranaree University of Technology
- Virology and Cell Technology – Dr. Papon Muangsanit, National Center for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology (BIOTEC)
- Environmental Management – Assoc. Prof. Dr. Methinee Yujoren, Prince of Songkla University

Dr. Wiparat Dee-ong noted that the Young Leaders selected to participate in the Regional Action on Climate Change (RACC16) will engage in networking activities, including the highlight event, “Dialogue between Young Leaders and Nobel Laureates,” alongside other meetings at the STS forum 2024. This opportunity serves as a significant career path for young researchers supported by NRCT, which continuously strives to enhance the capabilities of Thai researchers at all levels.
