This event aimed to foster Research, Development, and Extension (RDE) initiatives aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The four-day workshop included a series of capacity-building lectures, operational workshops, and strategic planning meetings, where impact analysis, policy creation, and discussion on digital university solutions related to global ranking indicators were among the topics highlighted.
On the first day, Prof. Hilly Ann Marie R. Quiaoit delivered a lecture on Blue Economy Initiatives: From Vision to Action Research and discourse on the Basics of Impact Assessment of Programs, Activities, and Projects (PAPs) by Prof. Armi G. Torres.
On day 2, the session commenced with lectures focused on RDE policy making by Prof. John Gieveson Iglupas and on mainstreaming SDGs in the university and community by Prof. Rosario L. Reserva. The workshop also emphasized discussions on actionable strategies on the university world ranking applications led by Anna Marie Bacinillo and digital university solutions by Samfford Cabaluna. These presentations fostered collaborative discussions that equipped participants in emphasizing metrics alignment, documentation, and reporting systems anchored on SDGs.
The workshop was organized with the support of the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Public Affairs, led by Prof. Nancy Q. Echavez, the WECARE Office, and the JRMSU campus.
The workshop not only strengthened the partnership between two institutions but also empowered participants with knowledge and actionable strategies to mainstream SDGs in RDE programs and advance their institutions’ global standing.
