About SEAES 2008
Since
its
inception several decades ago, ergonomics has grown
and expanded to become a human-centered
multidisciplinary field in which researchers and
practitioners from various backgrounds, namely,
basic science, health science, social science, and
engineering, work together and share their knowledge
and experience in both theories and applications to
achieve better quality of life in both the workplace
and living environment. Ergonomics in the Southeast
Asia, however, is still not popular and its
applications are far from being fully accepted by
management in both industrial and service sectors.
The 9th
Southeast Asian Ergonomics Society Conference (SEAES
2008)
is intended to be a forum for researchers and
practitioners from countries around the globe to
meet and exchange ideas, experiences, research
results, and problems related to ergonomics both
theories and applications. With its theme
“Achieving Organization Goals with Ergonomics: From
Theories to Applications & From Researchers to
Practitioners,” this conference hopes to find
solutions on how to bridge the gaps between theories
and applications and those between researchers and
practitioners, which are essential for making
ergonomics implementation and application
successful. As such, ergonomics researchers and
practitioners are invited to attend the SEAES 2008
which will be held in Bangkok, Thailand during
October 22-24, 2008 and to exchange their
experiences with their international colleagues who
share similar interests.
SEAES 2008 will be organized by Thammasat
University (Faculty of Engineering, Faculty of
Public Health, and Faculty of Allied Health
Sciences) and Ergonomics Society of Thailand (EST).
