PAPER: 366/Summit Plenary/General Plenary (Oral) OS
SCHEDULED: 8:00/Wed. 19 Nov. 2025/Dusit 1

ABSTRACT:

A unique perspective is presented on how science and innovation must be taught in order to build truly creative and resilient societies. Emphasis is placed on introducing scientific thinking at an early age, where curiosity and critical inquiry can be systematically cultivated. At the level of technical universities, the integration of technological entrepreneurship is highlighted as essential for transforming scientific knowledge into practical innovation and societal value. By connecting early science education with entrepreneurial competence in higher education, this approach supports the development of individuals capable of advancing knowledge, driving innovation, and contributing sustainably to societal and economic progress.
