The Research, Extension, Development and Innovation Office of Romblon State University under its new leadership announces the Virtual Agency In-House Review 2020 (AIHR) of completed research, extension, development and innovation projects on October 20-21, 2020.

This year’s AIHR is capsulized in the phrase “EXCELLENCE REDi” emphasizing that research, extension, development and innovation outputs must be of excellence and of exceptional quality. These are key requirements in quality assurance metrics such as accreditation of University academic programs, SUC levelling, normative funding, performance-based bonus and awarding of titles such as Center of Excellence and Center of Development.

AIHR is an annual activity of the REDi unit in its commitment to produce quality and high-impact outputs. However due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this year's AIHR migrates to the virtual gathering of university faculty and experts for scholarly interactions, knowledge exchange, and capability building in the new normal. Plenary is via Zoom while parallel sessions are through Google Meet. Interested presenters must observe the guidelines described below.
