“Through active participation in global academic networks, our researchers build relationships with international scholars, leading to joint publications, shared datasets, and cross-border studies. We also develop institutional linkages that allow for exchange programs, benchmarking, and research mentoring. These partnerships serve as bridges for continuous knowledge exchange—ensuring that Mapúa MCL’s academic communities are aligned with global standards and open to interdisciplinary collaboration,” Dr. Hermie V. Articona, Director for Mapúa MCL Research Promotion and Coordination Office (RPCO), said.
