In commemoration of the pursuit to advanced knowledge generation through research, Cebu Normal University (CNU) hosted the CNU FIRe (Festival on Innovations in Research) 2019 last October 17-19.

The three-day festival opened with the theme, “Complexity and Adaptation in the Era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution,” which focused on how research drove the emergence of the said revolution.

Dr. Floriza N. Laplap, Presidential Assistant for Planning and Development, delivered the words of welcome of Dr. Filomena T. Dayagbil, University President, highlighting the commitment of the academe to quality and relevant higher education through innovations.

“This gathering of intellectuals and innovators is a testament to our collective belief that research is the driver of innovation and one of the important keys in building a better future for our country,” Laplap said.

Researchers from different state universities and colleges gathered to present their researches that were categorized into five strands during the afternoon session. 

The strands were Productive Pedagogy, presented at SM Hall; Health Promotion and Innovations, which took place at Eva Macapagal Memorial Arts (EMMA) Center; Complex Adaptive System at Tandang Sora Hall; Ecology, Biodiversity, Climate Change, and Modelling at the E-Classroom College of Nursing (CN) Building; and Culture, Arts, and Governance at CN Amphitheatre.

In regards to CNU FIRe, Dr. Angeline M. Pogoy, Vice President for Research, Extension, and Publications, said that “taking the lead when it comes to the advancement of technology” is a must to become a leading, multidisciplinary research university.

Though the preparation of CNU FIRe had less than six months, she shared her most sincere gratitude to the strong manpower of the faculty and to the participants from the other nation and colleges that made the event successful. 

According to Pogoy, CNU FIRE may be the first of its name but research conferences have been organized and held by CNU every year for several years now.
