This is to endorse the 2nd National REDi Congress, organized by the Romblon State
University (RSU). The conference, with the theme “Navigating the Frontiers of
Innovation: Fostering Sustainable Development and Gender Inclusivity in Higher
Education Institutions (HEIs)”, will take place from November 29, 2023, via Zoom.
This virtual conference will serve as a unifying space for university professors, educators,
postgraduate students, and specialists from diverse areas. Its goal is to recognize the
milestones achieved in research, academic dialogues, knowledge sharing, and capacity
enhancement during the challenges of the new normal. Ultimately, the Congress strives
to energize, uplift, and connect members of Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) as they
work towards a promising future through innovative research, inclusive strategies, and a
commitment to sustainable development.

TIRSO A. RONQUILLO, ASEAN Eng.
President
2nd National REDI Congress
“Navigating the Frontiers of Innovation: Fostering Sustainable Development and Gender
Inclusivity in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs)”
Concept Note
In the context of the "new normal," where virtual gatherings have become the norm, the
theme also emphasizes the adaptability and resilience of HEIs in coping with the challenges
brought about by unprecedented circumstances. By embracing technological advancements
and virtual platforms, 2nd REDi National Congress ensures that knowledge exchange and
capability building continue unhindered.
The chosen theme aims to encapsulate the essence of the REDI Congress organized by
the RSU-REDi unit. It emphasizes the pivotal role of Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) as
"nebulae of innovations" where research and development (R&D) activities flourish, creating
a galaxy of new ideas and discoveries. These innovations are confined within the academic
realm and extended through extension activities catering to marginalized and underserved
sectors.
Furthermore, the theme highlights the all-encompassing nature of the congress, where all
papers produced by faculty, staff, and students are considered for presentation. Regardless of
whether the research is externally, institutionally, or privately funded, initiated by individuals
themselves, or stems from academic pursuits like theses, dissertations, and term papers, each
contribution holds equal value in advancing the frontiers of knowledge.
Overall, the theme "Navigating the Frontiers of Innovation: Fostering Sustainable
Development and Inclusivity in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs)" aims to motivate,
inspire, and unite stakeholders within HEIs in their collective endeavor to create a brighter
future through cutting-edge research, inclusive practices, and a commitment to sustainable
development.
The REDI Congress, which began in 2020, is an annual activity of the RSU-REDi unit in
its commitment to highlight quality and high-impact R&D and extension outputs in the
congress. Believing that a congress like this can help sustain the culture of sharing towards
future-ready HEIs, it aims to virtually gather university faculty, teachers, graduate students,
and experts for scholarly interactions, knowledge exchange, and capability building in the
new normal.
All papers completed by faculty, and staff, including externally funded research,
institutionally funded projects, and privately funded initiatives, as well as theses,
dissertations, term papers, and advisee's theses/dissertations (with consent of primary
researchers), are considered for presentation at the congress.
