Mindanao State University-Iligan Institute of Technology's Center for Resiliency, in collaboration with the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology, and with the financial support of WE CARE and LGU Iligan City, organized a Rapid Earthquake Damage Assessment System (REDAS) training. This training was designed to bolster the capacity of local government units and state universities and colleges to mainstream disaster risk reduction management and enhance the risk-sensitivity of their local plans by leveraging the REDAS software and tools. 

The Mindanao State University-Iligan Institute of Technology attended the Resilience 101 Activity held last April 19 to 20, 2023. This endeavor was initiated by the National Resilience Council and supported by the Aboitiz Foundation, Inc., Pilmico Flour, and SM Supermalls. The initiative focused on building capacity in climate and disaster risk, resilience, and multi-stakeholder partnerships 

MSU-IIT and HHI have joined forces to address the pressing issues of climate change, conflict, and environmental degradation in the BARMM. A recent workshop brought together experts to explore innovative solutions and develop strategies to promote peace, security, and environmental sustainability in the region. By fostering collaboration and knowledge-sharing, this initiative aims to create a more resilient and sustainable future for the BARMM.

 Dr. Napoleon A. Enteria of the College of Engineering became one of the outstanding contributors as a technical speaker during the 2nd PSIM Mindanao Regional Conference last May 5, 2023. His knowledge, expertise, and enthusiasm for the mechanical engineering field, especially in the VRF Heat Pump System inspired other fellow engineers to pursue and become experts in their fields. Thus, this emphasizes that the faculty from MSU-IIT are not only intellectually excellent but also pillars of inspiration. 

The Mindanao State University – Iligan Institute of Technology (MSU-IIT) in the Philippines and Hasselt University (UHasselt) in Belgium have come together to collaborate on the International Training Programme (ITP) project in partnership with the Visayas State University (VSU) in the Philippines. A formal agreement between Mindanao State University – Iligan Institute of Technology and Hasselt University has facilitated this collaborative endeavor. The ensuing two-week international workshop has emerged as a crucial milestone in the participants' collective pursuit of mastering the complexities of environmental citizen science.
