AbstractDuring the last few years, Thailand has seen a significant change in the way astronomical research and education is pursued in the country. The government has approved the establishment of the National Astronomical Research Institute of Thailand (NARIT) which aims to develop not only astronomical research but also astronomy education at all levels, both in formal and informal education. A framework of national key projects exists which includes national facilities, national collaborative research networks, teacher training and public outreach programmes. Examples of these programmes will be presented in this paper.

AbstractAstronomy development in Thailand has improved significantly during the last few years. The government has approved the establishment of the National Astronomical Research Institute of Thailand (NARIT). Roles of NARIT in the development astronomical research and astronomy education in Thailand includes a national framework, national facilities, collaborative research networks, teacher training and public outreach programmes. The new 2.4-metre reflecting telescope will serve not only astronomy community in Thailand but also in Southeast Asia.

During the last few decades, Thailand has seen a significant change in a way astronomical research and education is pursued in the country as the government realized the important roles that basic science plays in shaping up a knowledge-based society. In 2004, a cabinet resolution fulfilled the long-held dreams of the country's leading astronomers by assigning the Ministry of Science and Technology to establish the National Astronomical Research Institute of Thailand (NARIT). NARIT has been tasked to strengthen not only research and educational capacity building in astronomy and related fields but also to ensure that a foundation for basic sciences exists for appropriate technology and innovation essential for a scientific astronomy education at all levels, both in formal and informal education.

AbstractAbout 1.5% of the world's professional astronomers are based Africa, yet in terms of research output, African astronomers produce less than 1% of the world's astronomical research. The advent of new large-scale facilities such as SALT and HESS provides African astronomers with tools to pursue their research on the continent. Such facilities also provide unprecedented training opportunities for the next generation of African astronomers. This paper discusses recent efforts to develop astronomy education and research capacity on the continent. Various capacity-building initiatives are discussed, as well as the lessons learnt from those initiatives.
