On October 1, 2026, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Rosjana Chandhasa, Vice-President for Research and Development, Suan Sunandha Rajabhat University, participated in a meeting to discuss the development of the short-course program “Creative Economy and Soft Power Management for Senior Executives” (CREAM) and explore pathways for linking the program to Sandbox master’s and doctoral degree programs. The meeting was held at Meeting Room 26109, 1st Floor, Faculty of Science and Technology Building, Suan Sunandha Rajabhat University.
The meeting was honored by Asst. Prof. Dr. Nattapat Kaewrattanapat, Vice-President for Academic Affairs, who provided recommendations on approaches to improving and developing the curriculum. Executives and personnel from the College of Architecture, Faculty of Engineering and Industrial Technology, Graduate School, and Institute for Research and Development also presented the outcomes of previous CREAM program implementation and exchanged information and recommendations to support further curriculum development.

The discussion focused on using the implementation results and experiences gained from the CREAM program as a basis for improving the short course and exploring pathways to connect it with graduate-level Sandbox programs. Through academic exchange and inter-unit collaboration, the university aims to establish a continuous learning pathway in creative economy management, progressing from executive capacity development to master’s and doctoral education.
The meeting also served to define a strategic direction for the management and transfer of the “Creative Economy Management for Senior Executives (CREAM)” program from the Institute for Research and Development to the College of Architecture. At the same time, the university plans to revise the structure of its graduate programs at both the master’s and doctoral levels to ensure systematic and seamless integration.This approach is intended to support the development of a Credit Bank system and mechanisms for the recognition and transfer of prior learning and professional experience, ultimately creating a continuous learning pathway that responds to future workforce development needs in the creative economy.
