PTIT AWARDS

The Foundation Board of the Petroleum Institute of Thailand (PTIT) established the PTIT Awards in 1996 to commemorate the celebration of the 50th anniversary of His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej's ascension to the throne. The awards are granted to distinguished professionals who have contributed to the petroleum and petrochemical industries and other related fields. At present, the awards are divided into 5 categories: PTIT Distinguished Fellow, PTIT Fellow, PTIT Scholar, PTIT Laboratory/Workshop Instructor and PTIT Innovation, based on achievements, experience and individual contribution.
