Arrange formal invitation materials after review
Once the participation route and required materials are confirmed through the programme process, formal invitation materials are coordinated through the Faculty of Fine and Applied Arts, Chulalongkorn University, and relevant authorised parties.
Develop dialogue into a continuing work plan
The Secretariat supports departmental engagement, bilateral dialogue and cooperation-document coordination, with subsequent work organised around education, mobility, research, exhibitions or defined joint projects.
The participating institutions determine their cooperation, approvals, signatures and implementation through their own procedures.
