Pursuant to its vision to uphold a highly visible research tradition, the Research and Continuing Education Center (RCEC) spearheaded the University Research Forum on June 23, 2026, at the FCU Roblee Hall. The event was centered on the theme: “𝘍𝘪𝘭𝘢𝘮𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘢𝘯 𝘌𝘹𝘤𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘪𝘯 𝘍𝘰𝘤𝘶𝘴: 𝘈𝘥𝘷𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘒𝘯𝘰𝘸𝘭𝘦𝘥𝘨𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩 𝘔𝘶𝘭𝘵𝘪𝘥𝘪𝘴𝘤𝘪𝘱𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘳𝘺 𝘙𝘦𝘴𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘤𝘩.”

The activity aimed to convene the faculty researchers of FCU, provide a platform for them to present their completed studies, facilitate dialogue and the exchange of insights among peers, and highlight new research styles, findings, and innovations.

Eight studies across the university’s academic units were showcased during the event:

The presentations were scrutinized for their methodological alignment, data interpretation, and broader academic or practical implications by a panel of reactors consisting of Dr. George O. Cortel (University President), Dr. Erlyn C. Beup (VP for REIID), and Dr. Minnie P. Chan (VP for Academic Affairs).

The University Research Forum is one of the highlight activities of the inaugural Research, Extension, Internationalization, Innovation, and Development (REIID) Celebration, which aims to pave the way for a culture of research excellence, community building, and global connection in the University.

The activity is strategically aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals, with a strong focus on advancing SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-being), SDG 4 (Quality Education), SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth), SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure), and SDG 17 (Partnerships for the Goals).
