International Innovative Research & Industrial Dialogue (iIRID) 2022 is a research event hosted by Faculty of Manufacturing Engineering (FKP) and Advanced Manufacturing Centre (AMC) of Universiti Teknikal Malaysia Melaka (UTeM). iIRID aims to offer a unique platform for researchers, engineers and post-graduate students from industry, especially in the field of engineering and technology, to present their research findings, establish a mutual knowledge transfer and networking. Through this platform, solutions to the problems and needs of the local industry can be shared, thus bridging the gap between university and industry in Malaysia. All participants are eligible for the attainment of Continuing Professional Development (CPD) hours from the Institution of Engineers (IEM) and Malaysia Board of Technologists (MBOT). All accepted extended abstracts will be submitted to the Clarivate Analytics under the Conference Proceeding Citation Index (CPCI) ™. Ten best poster awards of iIRID 2022 will be invited to publish the full paper in Journal of Advanced Manufacturing Technology (JAMT) currently ranked at Q3 SCOPUS Indexed Journal.

Alstom, global leader in smart and sustainable mobility, and the Chulalongkorn University’s Faculty of Engineering (Chula Engineering) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to further Thailand’s railway industry development and collaboration over the next five years. The partnership between Alstom and Chula Engineering seeks to foster greater collaboration in local industry research and development, as well as educational and training programmes in this highly-specialised field of railway engineering. As the country becomes more urbanised, many public transport projects are increasingly being built within and beyond the capital city of Bangkok, and local railway expertise will continue to be in strong demand. Alstom is no stranger to the Chulalongkorn University, with over 20 alumni across varied disciplines joining the Group’s Bangkok hub in recent years, driving not only local, but also international mobility projects. Today, the Bangkok hub has grown to become one of the three global engineering centres for Asia Pacific since 1997, comprising over 450 skilled engineers of whom 85% are made up of locals. Leveraging the synergies between industry and academia, the agreement will therefore serve as a practical platform for the Faculty’s engineering undergraduates to hone their railway skills while pursuing a degree. Readying the students to
