A detailed schedule of activities outlines the three-day “Collaborate, Innovate, Publish: Research Workshop” from April 23 to 25, 2026, at the CPUGAD TBI Co-working Space.

Central Philippine University (CPU), through the Office of the Vice President for Research, Development and Extension (OVPRDE) led by Acting Vice President Dr. Aries Roda D. Romallosa, in collaboration with the Department of Science and Technology – National Research Council of the Philippines (DOST-NRCP), is currently holding the “Collaborate, Innovate, Publish: Research Workshop” at the CPUGAD TBI Co-working Space.

The three-day workshop, which runs from April 23 to 25, 2026, aims to strengthen the research writing, proposal development, and publication competencies of CPU faculty, students and researchers, while also enhancing skills in advanced research applications such as computational fluid dynamics.

As part of the preparatory activities on April 22, the OVPRDE formally welcomed DOST-NRCP guests Mr. Marfy H. Lita, Ms. Ivy Agustin Sacapano, and Engr. Jeremias A. Gonzaga, Research and Development (RD) Leader, at the CPUGAD Ideation Room. A courtesy call at the Office of the President followed, attended by Dr. Aries Roda D.

Ayson, Director of the University Research Center; and Dr. Florence P. Bogacia, Vice President for Finance and Enterprises, together with the DOST-NRCP representatives.

On April 23, the first day of the workshop, Engr. Jeremias A. Gonzaga facilitated sessions on scientific writing, peer review, and publication processes, alongside Training on Research Proposal Development (Part 1), which focused on strengthening the conceptualization and structuring of research proposals.

The workshop continues today, April 24, with Day 2 activities led by Engr. Gonzaga. Sessions include Training on Research Proposal Development (Part 2) and Training on Computational Fluid Dynamics, designed to further develop participants’ technical research skills and analytical competencies for scientific inquiry and innovation.

The final day on April 25 will feature the evaluation of the university’s wind tunnel facility by Engr. Gonzaga, Engr. Kleio Alfric S. Tobias, and Engr. Caesar Rico Acanto, followed by an exit meeting with the CPU research and development team to synthesize outputs and recommendations from the workshop.

Through this continuing collaboration, CPU and DOST-NRCP reaffirm their commitment to advancing research excellence, fostering innovation, and strengthening the university’s culture of scholarly publication and scientific productivity.
