Profile
The Thailand Creative & Design Center (TCDC) was created by Cabinet resolution on September 2, 2003, at a time when the government gave its approval to a number of projects aimed at developing the country’s human resources, including projects for the development of gifted children and the creation of a knowledge park. To oversee and coordinate these projects, the government established the O ffice of Knowledge Management and Development ( O KMD) by royal decree on November 4, 2004.
TCDC was officially established on June 18, 2004, and placed under the supervision of the O ffice of Knowledge Management and Development (Public O rganization), which is in turn part of the O ffice of the Prime Minister. TCDC receives an annual budget from the Bureau of the Budget.
The Thailand Creative & Design Center is one of five specialized organizations under the aegis of the O ffice of Knowledge Management and Development (Public O rganization), all posed to propel Thailand’s drive to become a “learning society.” The other agencies are:
- National Discovery Museum Institute (NDMI)
- Thailand Knowledge Park (TKP)
- Thailand Center for Excellence for Life Sciences (TCELS)
- Center for the Promotion of National Strength on Moral Ethics and Values ( Moral Center )
