Asian Institute of Technology

The Asian Institute of Technology (AIT), established in 1959, is a higher education institution located 40 kilometers north of Bangkok, Thailand. Engineering, new technology, sustainable development, and management and planning are among its specialties. Through higher education, research, and outreach, it aims to "advance technological progress and sustainable development" in the Asia-Pacific area. Since its inception, AIT has been administered by a board of governors. The chairman of the board of trustees has traditionally been a high-ranking Thai citizen.

The AIT Board of Trustees includes ambassadors from 13 countries: Bangladesh, Cambodia, Canada, China, France, India, Indonesia, Korea, Lao PDR, Nepal, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and Vietnam. Two countries' ambassadors, Japan's and the EU's, have observer status on the AIT Board.

AIT's student body hails from more than 50 nations, accounting for almost a third of Thailand's population. It has always been global, with overseas donors providing scholarships to AIT students to help them develop their skills.
