The event was convened under the theme, “Enhancing Research Visibility and Extension Impact for University Excellence.”
The review featured an array of research proposals and extension initiatives from various academic disciplines, encompassing both fundamental and applied research. Participants presented their studies before a panel of distinguished experts from leading institutions across the Philippines, such as Northern Iloilo State University (NISU), State University of Northern Negros (SUNN), Capiz State University (CAPSU), University of the Philippines Visayas (UPV), Iloilo State University of Fisheries Science and Technology (ISUFST), West Visayas State University (WVSU), Agricultural Training Institute, and Department of Agriculture – Western Visayas.
The review sessions were systematically organized across multiple campus locations, classified according to research typologies. Basic research presentations were conducted in Room 301 of the Graduate School Building, with evaluations led by Dr. Ma. Ivy V. Agreda, Dr. Vanessa T. Cayacay, Dr. Leo Andrew B. Biclar, and Dir. Adrian C. Alumbro. Concurrently, applied research proposals were assessed at the Agri-Eco Convention Hall, where a panel comprising Dr. Francis D. Dimzon, Dr. Concepcion P. Ponce, Dr. Maita A.
