RATIONALE

The Davao del Norte State College (DNSC) is committed to becoming a research-intensive university in the next few years. As part of this plan, DNSC will host the International Research Festival 2024, a multidisciplinary conference that will provide a platform for academic and research collaboration in the fields of biodiversity, technology and innovation, food innovation, humanities, culture, and education. The conference will attract peers and interested parties from within and beyond Mindanao. It will be an opportunity to create connections, nurture existing networks, and find new opportunities for collaboration, such as joint research and publications. As a small HEI located in the Global South, DNSC takes huge step to stride in creating ripples worthy of attention from established academic figures as well as emerging scholars working on thematic areas relevant to DNSC’s present and future trajectories.
