Date Posted: Dec. 05, 2024
Being an officer of the Association of Local Colleges and Universities - Region 3 Research Committee, Limay Polytechnic College hosted and facilitated the 5th ALCUR3 Student Research Conference themed: Innovative Research in the Advent of Sustainable Development via Zoom teleconferencing on December 05, 2024 arranged, managed and facilitated by the LPC Center for Research, Development and Extension. Part 1 of the program entailed opening ceremony which was officially opened by ALCUR3 Research Committee chair Dr. Paolo Lacap, while ALCUR3 Pres. Roger Ambida delivered his keynote message. The remaining hours were allotted for onsite blind judging of papers by renowned researchers and research directors who have practiced research engagement and specialized in different fields as PhDs. Research presentation per cluster immediately followed on intended slot in the afternoon which was facilitated by designated moderators who were department heads of LPC. Awarding of best paper and presenter culminated the said research confab which was officially closed by Dr. Elmer B. De Leon, president of host institution as he acknowledged all those who contributed their part for the success of the said undertaking that he considered an imperative and significant undertaking to prioritize and emphasize by HEIs. To note, LPC showcased featured papers by student-researchers for presentation, though, in any manner were not included in the judging of best papers and presenters to sustain the integrity of the presentation. Hence, LPC commended the presenters and their represented institutions for the amazing studies that they were able to pursue while reflecting research in the region. In fact, for this year, almost more than a hundred entries were submitted. However, the Committee was able to pick only the 40% of those submitted entries upon screening and evaluating.
