Prof. Schindler held an invited Keynote-Speech in Bangkok

The ties between the academics in Bangkok and RWTH Aachen are strong. At King Mongkut’s University of Technology of North Bangkok (KMUTNB) the Thai-German Graduate School has been established more than 10 years ago. Many Professors of RWTH Aachen University have gone there to hold block lectures. Since two years TGSS has established a Railway Study Program called RVIE (Railway Vehicle and Infrastructure Engineering) together with Chulalongkorn University, which is also located in Bangkok. Prof. Schindler supports that Program strongly. Among other business he regularly visits TGGS to hold lessons on Railway Vehicles. This time he was invited by the so called Thailand Railway Research Network, a government driven organization to foster research in the fields of railways in Thailand and to search for co-operations with foreign universities. Also well-known railway researchers from Japan, China and the US were invited.
