The second of the biannual USC Research Forum will be held on February 20, 2010 at the Buttenbruch and Gansewinkel Halls, USC Main Campus, taking on the theme, Poverty and Development: Higher Education’s Challenges, Responses and Contribution. The forum is a series of presentations of research outputs by not only USC’s researchers but also of members of the USC CHED Zonal Research Center. A total of 28 research papers, with a wide range of topics, from philosophy, religion, education to economics, biodiversity, energy, to food technology and business and industry, will be presented in parallel sessions. Dr. Felino Lansingan, Professor of Environmental Statistics at UP-Los Baños, has been invited to give the keynote speech on a topic related to Climate Change in the Philippine context vis a vis higher education.
It will be the second time USC will be holding its research forum with the participation of CHED ZRC member institutions as presenters. The first one was held last year with the objective of providing a venue for researchers from the Zonal Center to exchange information about the latest in their research works and at the same time promote the spirit of camaraderie among the members.
Organized by the Office of Research and the CHED USC Zonal Research Center, the forum is open to the public.
