The 13th Education Conference
“Reimagining Higher Education in a Changing World: Innovation and Collaboration”

The world today is experiencing rapid and continuous changes driven by technological advancements that are transforming every aspect of life, as well as increasing complexities in economic, social, and environmental dynamics. These challenges directly impact all sectors, particularly higher education, which plays a crucial role in developing human resources, generating knowledge, and creating innovations to drive national development.
In this context, higher education institutions must reimagine themselves to adapt to these challenges with a broad vision and flexible approaches, ultimately achieving maximum efficiency in producing high-quality graduates who meet the rapidly changing labor market demands, while fostering innovations that benefit society.
To respond to the transformation of higher education, Prince of Songkla University emphasizes two key concepts: Innovation and Collaboration. These concepts extend beyond curriculum improvement or the use of technology; they encompass roles and functions aimed at overcoming traditional limitations, creating new solutions, and enhancing existing processes in all dimensions—including teaching and learning, research, management, and the promotion of future skills. Achieving these goals requires collaboration with diverse stakeholders both within and outside the institution, such as government agencies, private sector, industry, and civil society worldwide. Such collaborations serve as essential mechanisms to strengthen capacity and enhance the potential of higher education systems, ensuring that education effectively meets labor market and societal needs.
Based on these considerations, Prince of Songkla University, in collaboration with the Association of Professional and Organizational Development Network of Thailand Higher Education (ThaiPOD Network) and the Thailand Cyber University Project (TCU), is organizing the 13th National Education Conference under the theme: “Reimagining Higher Education in a Changing World: Innovation and Collaboration.” This conference marks the 13th iteration hosted by Prince of Songkla University, the 2nd in cooperation with ThaiPOD Network. It focuses on reimagining higher education through seminars, exchange of ideas, sharing of experiences, presentations of research by faculty, educational personnel, and students, as well as activities related to Cooperative and Work-Integrated Education (CWIE). The conference will be held on 26–27 February 2026 at the Conference Hall, The 60th Anniversary of His Majesty the King’s Accession to the Throne International Convention Center
