PTTEP supports 35 million baht for the development of KVIS planetarium and observatory, strengthening youth capabilities in science and technology

PTTEP and PTT Group place strong emphasis on the continuous promotion of education in science and technology. In 2015, the group established Vidyasirimedhi Institute of Science and Technology (VISTEC), an advanced research institute focused on talent development and innovation, along with KVIS, an upper secondary school for students with outstanding potential in mathematics and science. Previously, PTTEP signed a memorandum of understanding to provide continued support to both institutions during 2022-2031, with an average annual budget of 100 million baht. This reflects a strong commitment to supporting education and research, which serves as an important foundation for the country's future development.
