"Research, Extension, Development and Innovation: Sustaining the Culture of Sharing towards Future-Ready HEIs"
Post COVID-19 pandemic, the way things are done has been disrupted dramatically. This is observable in research and development, innovation and extension endeavors in higher education institutions in the country where several HEIs modified the usual practices in order to deliver these two major mandates for higher education institutions. The pandemic has tested their adaptability and readiness in facing a world that is described by today’s scholars as VUCA – volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous.
HEIs are the nebulae of innovations which are usually generated through R&D and extended through extension activities targeting the marginalized and underserved sectors.
The REDI Congress which began in 2021 is an annual activity of the RSU-REDi unit in its commitment to highlight quality and high-impact R&D and extension outputs in the congress. Believing that congress like this can help sustain the culture of sharing towards future-ready HEIs, it aims to virtually gather university faculty, teachers, graduate students and experts for scholarly interactions, knowledge exchange, and capability building in the new normal.
Interested presenters must observe the guidelines described below.
