From June 16 to August 23, 2025, students will participate in hands-on research projects at KMUTNB, working alongside top professors and researchers in Thailand.

The program offers VKU students the opportunity to experience a diverse learning environment and culture at KMUTNB. Students will not only enhance their technical knowledge through hands-on research projects but also develop English proficiency, communication, and teamwork skills in an international setting. The research projects cover a wide range of topics, including: Keyword optimization for IT job listings in web applications; Multilingual sentiment analysis for customer service improvement; Real-time feedback behavior analysis for customer service optimization; Solving multi-objective optimization problems; Metaheuristics for transportation systems; Detecting groups on social media using machine learning (ML)/deep learning (DL); Real-time emotion analysis and adaptive response systems; Deep learning and machine learning for emotional intelligence analysis in social media.
