Srinakharinwirot University (SWU) has continuously organized activities to promote the well-being of its students, staff and the wider University community. In 2026, the University moved from project-based activities to systematic management by announcing the Well-being Promoting University Policy, which sets a shared direction, goals and operational guidelines at the university level. The policy is aligned with the Healthy University Framework (HUF), which emphasizes integrating well-being into policies, management systems, the environment, activities and services, and strengthening the participation of the University community. It aims to develop holistic well-being across the physical, mental, intellectual and social dimensions, while supporting the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The policy is driven under the Social Engagement Strategic Plan and the Social Engagement University Master Plan. The University has appointed the Committee for Overseeing and Driving the Social Engagement Strategy as the main mechanism for setting direction, overseeing policy and monitoring performance in line with the University’s strategy and goals. The Committee sets guidelines for academic services for society and well-being promotion, supports the integration of health into the missions of all units, and ensures that activities respond concretely to the HUF and to sustainable development indicators.
In 2026, the University developed an annual action plan with clear goals, indicators, activities, responsible units and monitoring and evaluation guidelines. The plan was cascaded to 22 faculties and colleges, which developed their own academic service plans and well-being promotion activity plans in line with the University’s direction. Each unit used its plan to manage resources and carry out well-being activities suited to its context and the needs of its target groups, covering physical health, mental health, health literacy, intellectual development, social relationships and participation, and health-supportive environments.
The University requires monitoring and reporting on the implementation of the plan to review progress, outputs, outcomes, challenges and ways to improve. Data from units are used to evaluate performance and improve implementation in the next cycle. This process shows how the responsible units have progressed from setting policy and management mechanisms to cascading plans, allocating resources, carrying out proactive activities and monitoring results at the unit level. It demonstrates that the University has put the HUF into practice across the whole organization in a systematic and continuous manner, supported by empirical evidence at both the university and unit levels.
