About VISTEC
Vidyasirimedhi Institute of Science and Technology (VISTEC) was founded in 2015 by PTT Public Company Limited, Thailand’s largest corporation and a Fortune Global 500 company, and located at the Eastern Economic Corridor of Innovation (EECi) in Wangchan Valley, Rayong, Thailand.
VISTEC is an advanced research institute offering postgraduate-level degrees (Ph.D. and Master degrees) in Science and Engineering. VISTEC is designed to be autonomous and academically independent; the institute is sponsored by PTT group (PTT, GC, PTTEP, ThaiOil, IRPC, GPSC, OR) and co-founders, Kasikornbank and SCB bank. With our focus in cutting-edge research in combination with user-inspired innovations, VISTEC research programs are ideal for training future generations of scientists and engineers to address national demands and global challenges.
In addition to degree giving programs, we also offer postdoctoral research training to provide a basis for early-stage researchers to develop their independent careers while working with experts in the fields. We offer two types of postdoctoral fellowships, one for pursuing challenges in making cutting-edge discoveries and another for undertaking projects in collaboration with the industry.
VISTEC research programs strive towards world-class excellence. Our research output is currently ranked 1st in Thailand for all subjects, natural and chemical science. Our faculty members are internationally recognized in their research areas and excel in high-quality, high-impact and cutting-edge research. With core focus in four areas - materials, energy, biotechnology and digital technology - researchers at VISTEC have access to state-of-the-art facilities and are well-supported to conduct research and create innovations for industry and society.
VISTEC maintains close linkages with industry and supports students, alumni and researchers in undertaking entrepreneurial pursuits. This is aligned with our vision to develop proprietary, commercially viable technologies that solve real-world problems.

VISTEC's Timeline
Thailand's leading energy company, PTT Public Company Limited, founded VISTEC under the leadership of former CEO Dr. Pailin Chuchottaworn. Their vision was to create a higher-education research institute dedicated to science and technology that would foster exceptional scientists and become a hub for cutting-edge knowledge and innovation in Thailand. PTT commenced the Science and Technology Institute Project in Rayong to celebrate the auspicious occasion of Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn’s 60th birthday. The project led to the founding 2015 of the Rayong Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (RAIST), which later became Vidyasirimedhi Institute of Science and Technology.
While PTT continues to provide full support in research funding, university infrastructure, research facilities, teaching equipment, and human resources, VISTEC is autonomous and academically independent. This ensures professional management of academics and research and helps attract exceptionally talented faculty, students and researchers to achieve world-class academic excellence. VISTEC is thus well-positioned to fulfill its founders’ vision to help Thailand become a knowledge-based economy focused on sustainable growth and development.
Founders of VISTEC also include subsidiary companies of the PTT group, including GC, PTTEP, IRPC, ThaiOil, GPSC, and OR, as well as Thailand’s two largest banks, Kasikornbank and SCB Bank.
