The forum promotes wide information sharing to the USTP community for them to be fully aware of the policies, processes, implementing rules, benefits, incentives, and honoraria, among others. It is also an avenue to clarify and guide stakeholders for smooth implementation of the policies.
With the knowledge assets in the university, USTP continues to recognize and share research as it pursues to make innovations and initiatives in research being a science and technology university.
The USTP CDO Research Office headed by Dr. Ismael N. Talili also launched the newest virtual activity, An Afternoon with an Expert. This is scheduled to air on Fridays, twice a month, and is open to all individuals at the University, especially to those inclined to research.
