Chula Collaborates on Research and Innovation with Phyathai-Paolo Hospital Group, Launches Season 7 of “7 Wonders Hybrid Learning” Program 

Chulalongkorn University, represented by Professor Dr. Wilert Puriwat, President of Chulalongkorn University, along with Associate Professor Dr. Danupol Hoonsopon, Assistant to the President, and Assistant Professor Ratirath Na Songkhla from the Faculty of Commerce and Accountancy, has partnered with the Phyathai-Paolo Hospital Group, led by Mr. Att Thongtang, Chairman of Group 5 Executive Committee, in a signing ceremony for an academic collaboration agreement in research and innovation development. The ceremony was held on September 8, 2025, at the Father Paolo Meeting Room, Phyathai Phaholyothin Hospital. 

The purpose of this agreement is to promote and support the execution of high-quality research and innovation projects that are applicable in both academic and commercial contexts. The collaboration seeks to integrate knowledge and resources from both parties—including personnel, laboratories, research tools, and databases—to maximize mutual benefits. It also aims to enhance the skills and capabilities of personnel such as researchers, academics, students, and staff from both institutions. The goal is to jointly create research outputs or innovations that can be practically applied in the fields of healthcare, industry, society, or the environment. 

In addition to launching the “7 Wonders Hybrid Learning” program, a hybrid learning development course, the collaboration between Chulalongkorn University’s Faculty of Commerce and Accountancy and the Phyathai-Paolo Hospital Group will also expand through the Center for Phyathai-Paolo Rapid Innovation Acceleration (CPRIA). This expansion aims to jointly develop knowledge, research, and innovation, thereby enhancing the knowledge base of organizational personnel—empowering them to be both learners and knowledge sharers simultaneously.
