The cabinet has approved a draft bill that promotes the use of R&D and lets researchers own the right to transfer their research to private companies. "The researchers are the ones who know the best the benefit of their work," Mr Nathporn said. The bill also aims to enhance sharing between universities, researchers and the private sector." The educational innovation area initiative is expected to be developed in three provinces: Rayong, Sri Sa Ket and Satun, according to Mr Nathporn. "The scheme can later be applied nationwide," Mr Nathporn said.
