WCC ATC Co-Hosts Regional Research Summit in Thailand, Strengthens Global Commitment to Sustainable Development and Academic Collaboration

WCC Aeronautical & Technological College (WCC ATC) reaffirmed its commitment to international collaboration and sustainable education as one of 18 higher education institutions that co-organized the 12th National and International Conference held on July 31, 2025 at Huachiew Chalermprakiet University (HCU), Thailand.

Now in its third year of joining and actively participating in this prestigious research summit, WCC ATC continues to strengthen its presence in regional academic exchange and global development discourse.

With the theme “Research to Serve Society,” the conference brought together academic leaders, researchers, and institutional partners across Asia to highlight how education and innovation can drive societal transformation. The event also featured a keynote address by Mr. Joseph Solomon Horn, Managing Director of Strategy613, on “China–Thailand: The Next 50 Years of Economic Cooperation,” underscoring the critical role of education in shaping future-ready regional partnerships.

Representing WCC ATC was Dr. Roger Martinez Jr., Vice President for Academic Affairs, who was joined this year by a strong delegation of deans, academic heads, and faculty members. The WCC ATC delegation actively contributed to the academic program, including the pre-conference tree-planting ceremony, a symbolic gesture of sustainability, and the institutional presentations on “SDG in Action: Best Practices, Challenges, and Trends.”

WCC ATC’s presentation shared how the institution is integrating the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into its curricula and community programs, reflecting its long-term commitment to education that serves both local and global communities.

As a recognized international co-host, WCC ATC joined peer institutions from the Philippines and Thailand in amplifying a shared vision for regional educational diplomacy and collaboration—an important step in strengthening academic exchange and collective leadership in Asia.
