The research conference, which was organized by the Department of Science and Technology–Science Education Institute (DOST-SEI) and in collaboration with the National Consortium in Graduate Science and Mathematics Education (NCGSME), provided a platform for the Capacity Building Program in Science and Mathematics Education (CBPSME) and Science and Technology Regional Alliance of Universities for National Development (STRAND) scholars to present their theses and dissertations. 

A total of 350 graduate scholars and guests from 16-member universities engaged in discussions to foster scholarly exchange and explore opportunities for collaboration to advance STEM education in the Philippines. 

This year, the conference was hosted by Central Luzon State University (CLSU), with Saint Mary’s University (SMU), and Nueva Vizcaya State University (NVSU) serving as co-hosts. The conference was centered on the theme, “Synergies in STEM: Fostering Cultural Integration, Collaboration, and Innovation for Sustainable Futures.”
