"High-Resolution Weather and Climate Forecasting Models for Thailand: Towards Climate Resilience and Risk Management"
Dr. Chinnawat Surussavadee,
Founder and CEO, CPS Weather Co., Ltd. and CPS Agri Co., Ltd.
Abstract: Thailand’s diverse tropical climate presents unique challenges for accurate weather and climate forecasting, especially as extreme events such as heavy rainfall, flash floods, and droughts become more frequent under changing global conditions. This presentation highlights advances in high-resolution weather and climate modeling tailored for Thailand, focusing on model development, data assimilation, and the integration of satellite, ground-based, and citizen-sourced observations to improve spatial and temporal accuracy. It also discusses the use of downscaling and ensemble forecasting techniques to enhance local predictions, along with practical applications in agriculture, water resource management, disaster preparedness, and urban planning. Drawing from experiences at CPS Weather and CPS Agri, the talk illustrates how data-driven modeling and regional collaboration can strengthen climate resilience and sustainable decision-making in Thailand and across Southeast Asia.

"Innovative Pathways to Urban Resilience: Integrating Community Engagement and Policy for Sustainable Cities"
Associate Professor Dr. Wijitbusaba Marome,
Faculty of Architecture and Planning, Thammasat University, Thailand
Abstract: As cities face mounting challenges from climate change, resource stress, and rapid urbanization, the quest for urban resilience requires integrating community participation with forward-thinking policy innovation. In this keynote, Associate Professor Dr. Wijitbusaba (Ann) Marome shares her extensive experience in shaping resilient and adaptive cities through participatory planning and evidence-based policymaking. Drawing from her research on serious games for community engagement, climate adaptation, and COVID-19 preparedness, Dr. Marome will highlight tools and frameworks that enhance disaster risk awareness and empower local actors in shaping sustainable urban futures. Through Thai and international case studies, she will demonstrate how co-created knowledge, inclusive governance, and locally led climate actions can transform urban systems into adaptive, equitable, and future-ready environments.

"From Sound to Sustainability: Wave-Based Technologies for a Resilient Future"
Associate Professor Dr. Sorasak Danworaphong,
Institute of Music Science and Engineering, King Mongkut's Institute of Technology Ladkrabang, Thailand
Abstract: Sound is more than what we hear—it is a medium that connects science, culture, and sustainability. This talk explores how wave-based technologies can advance environmental resilience and cultural preservation. Drawing from research in acoustic materials, environmental monitoring, and noninvasive sensing, the presentation highlights innovations that use sound to reduce noise pollution, enable material sustainability, and support cultural preservation. Examples include eco-friendly acoustic panels made from natural biomass, wireless acoustic sensor networks for real-time noise mapping, and the creation of 3D-printed musical instruments precisely tuned to traditional scales. Together, these projects demonstrate how the science of sound can bridge physics, engineering, and art to build a more sustainable and human-centered future.

Cross-cultural networking
Step beyond the conference room and into a cross-cultural networking experience set in the everyday life of Bang Pa-in. This session uses All About Khon Bang Pa-in as a shared cultural backdrop for informal conversations, relationship building, and exchange of perspectives among participants from different countries and disciplines. The experience continues at Kong Khong Market, where networking happens naturally through shared food, local encounters, and casual discussion. Designed to encourage open dialogue and genuine connection, this session creates space for conversations that go beyond introductions—turning cultural exploration into meaningful professional and personal networks.
