BatStateU opens 7th IRCIEST, ignites global dialogue on transformative research and innovation

BatStateU opens 7th IRCIEST, ignites global dialogue on transformative research and innovation With bold steps toward fostering research that drives global transformation, Batangas State University, The National Engineering University (BatStateU The NEU), officially opened the 7th International Research Conference on Innovations in Engineering, Science, and Technology (IRCIEST) on October 22, at BatStateU Pablo Borbon Campus, reaffirming its leadership in propelling innovation and research excellence across the country and the ASEAN region. Anchored on the theme “Engineering the Future: Transformative Research for Global Advancement,” this year’s biennial conference gathers delegates from across the Philippines and abroad, including faculty researchers, policy experts, government officials, and industry partners, to explore research breakthroughs and practical solutions toward the realization of national and global sustainable development goals. Dr. Tirso A. Ronquillo, President of BatStateU and NEU, opened the program by welcoming innovators, researchers, academicians, and visionaries from different regions and countries. He pointed out that the growth of IRCIEST over the past 12 years reflects both the original vision of the initiative and the evolving challenges of today’s world. “The importance of this conference goes beyond mere statistics or publications… it is about translating knowledge into real-world applications that benefit communities, industries, and nations,” he remarked in his welcome address. The opening program was further enriched by the acknowledgment of co-hosts and partner institutions, led by Conference Chair Engr. Albertson D. Amante, BatStateU Vice President for Research, Development, and Extension Services. Representing a strong international network, this year’s co-hosts include Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology (HUTECH) in Vietnam; Indian Maritime University (IMU) in India; University of the Built Environment in the United Kingdom; and Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM). From the local research landscape, the conference is co-hosted by Bicol State College of Applied Sciences and Technology (BISCAST), Caraga State University (CSU), Cavite State University (CvSU), Central Bicol State University of Agriculture (CBSUA), Eastern Visayas State University (EVSU), Ifugao State University (IFSU), Jose Rizal Memorial State University (JRMSU), Kalinga State University (KSU), Laguna State Polytechnic University (LSPU), Mariano Marcos State University (MMSU), Rizal Technological University (RTU), Samar State University (SSU), and University of Southern Mindanao (USM). The conference also proudly collaborates with the Department of Science and Technology (DOST), which is set to showcase its landmark commercialization initiative, Inno.Venta 2025—an innovation marketplace that aims to accelerate the deployment of Filipino R&D outputs to industry and community. This initiative will take center stage in the days ahead, alongside high-impact plenaries, panel discussions, and paper presentations. A highlight of the program was the Keynote Message delivered by Dr. Muhammad Qasim Rana, Senior Lecturer at the University of the Built Environment, United Kingdom. His thought-provoking discourse on “Transformative Research in the Age of the Fourth Industrial Revolution” laid a critical foundation for the conference’s intellectual direction. Dr. Rana emphasized the importance of harnessing emerging technologies—such as artificial intelligence, robotics, digital twins, and quantum computing—not only to drive innovation but also to ensure responsible and inclusive development. He explained that the Fourth Industrial Revolution demands a new generation of researchers with qualities such as empathetic leadership, systems thinking, cultural intelligence, and adaptive foresight to effectively navigate and shape technological change. Moreover, he also shared his perspective on the rapid pace of technological advancements: “Because each innovation accelerates the previous one, we will see which is the most efficient these days. This is meant to enhance our decision-making, speed, and sustainability, which are already in progress. The purpose of the Industrial Revolution is to transform how we design, produce, govern, and consume. It aims to bridge the gap between technology, human value systems, ethical innovation, inclusive innovation, climate change, and sustainability,” he said. In closing, Dr. Rana left the audience with a thought-provoking challenge: “I am leaving you with these questions: Are we ready for a dynamic transformation? Are we ready for the challenges and opportunities posed by Artificial Intelligence?” As the three-day conference unfolds, participants can expect cutting-edge plenary talks, multi-track paper presentations, and thematic panel sessions on topics ranging from robotics and automation, machine learning, and green technologies, to AI, technopreneurship, agriculture, climate resilience, and university innovation ecosystems. Resource speakers will include academicians, researchers, and innovators from the Philippines, the United Kingdom, Malaysia, India, and Vietnam. Highlights in the succeeding days include the Inno.Venta Innovation Marketplace, a ceremonial exhibit launch, and immersive panel forums with leaders from the government, academia, and industry—including DOST, CHED, PEZA, IPOPHL, and the Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry. In convening thought leaders, researchers, technologists, and students under one roof, the 7th IRCIEST serves as a vital platform for dialogue, collaboration, and action, furthering BatStateU’s vision of engineering a future driven by purpose and progress.
