With the theme, “Transdisciplinary Capacity Building and Ethical Research Towards a Progressive, Unified, and SDG-Driven Nation,” the event highlighted the necessity of integrating diverse knowledge systems, including academic, indigenous, technological, and policy-driven perspectives, to effectively address the complex challenges hindering the country’s attainment of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The delegation, composed of dedicated educators and researchers, included Dr. Leny Q. Anasco, Annielyn P. Lasagas, Dr. Susan C. Comaling, Marjho Mae S. Cardoza, Verona L. Pormento, John Philip A. Viajedor, Janepol G. Ballard, Jed Anthony A. Ceballos, Marjune T. Bonilla, Christopher R. Balaba, and Mary Jane A. Moralia. Their presence at this prestigious national scientific gathering underscores the institution’s dedication to engaging with high-level research agendas and aligning its academic pursuits with global sustainability standards. By immersing themselves in discussions on ethical frameworks and cross-sectoral collaboration, the faculty members gained valuable insights that will enrich their research initiatives and academic programs in Northern Mindanao.
By taking part in this national forum, USTP Panaon has taken a definitive step toward expanding its research horizons and cultivating strategic partnerships. The experience equips its faculty to translate national conversations into local impact, driving forward the university’s mission to deliver sustainable solutions for a unified and progressive nation.
