Loom Khong Pijay (GMSARN) Scholarships
The Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS) consists of Cambodia, China

Provinces), Laos,
Myanmar, Thailand and Vietnam. AIT’s focal point for GMS
activities is in the networking under the Greater Mekong Subregion Academic and
Research Network (GMSARN). GMSARN seeks to ensure that the holistic
intellectual knowledge and assets generated, developed and maintained are
shared by organizations within the region. Primary emphasis is placed on
complementary linkages between technological and socio-economic development
issues. GMSARN now includes 15 region's top-ranking academic and research
institutions.
The first phase of operation of GMSARN was to establish the
structure for networking for collaboration among leading academic and research
institutes in GMS region. Now in the second phase, GMSARN will strive to
