- MHESI issued the Talent Mobility Announcement B.E. 2569, allowing personnel to transfer across agencies without losing their rights.
- Covers both higher education institutions and government agencies, but excludes temporary and outsourced employees.
- Performance and work output can be used to evaluate career progression and promotions.
- Focuses on resource sharing and technology transfer to develop research networks.
The Ministry of Higher Education, Science, Research and Innovation (MHESI) has promulgated the Personnel Mobility and Exchange Guidelines B.E. 2569, with the key objective of providing professors, researchers, and affiliated personnel the opportunity to temporarily work or collaborate with higher education institutions and external agencies. It also guarantees that personnel will continue to receive benefits and accumulate continuous service years.
The announcement was signed on July 17, 2569, by Professor Dr. Yoschanan Wongsawat, Minister of MHESI, and is scheduled to take effect the day after its publication in the Royal Gazette. This framework covers degree-level and sub-degree higher education institutions, both public and private, as well as non-higher education government agencies under or supervised by MHESI.
This Talent Mobility framework serves as a vital mechanism to break through bureaucratic walls and previous limitations that often caused government personnel to lose advancement rights when collaborating with the private sector or other institutions. MHESI's recognition of continuous service years and performance records during exchanges will help facilitate smoother knowledge sharing between the academic and industrial sectors.
Eligible personnel groups include civil servants, university employees, public organization staff, state enterprise employees, and government employees. However, this announcement does not cover temporary and outsourced employees. The key details clearly state that working in another agency may count as full-time employment for the parent agency, while continuing to receive benefits and accumulating continuous government service or employment years.
