WVSU is preparing vigorously for the forthcoming World Research and Innovation Festival (WRIF), a virtual global research conference from October 17 to 19, 2022. Being a hub of creative works and innovative ideas, the university takes on the challenge of gathering 600 participants from various colleges and universities worldwide for the research festival.

Dr. Greta G. Gabinete, Vice President for Research Extension and Training, heads the WRIF Organizing Committee. The preparation requires the collaboration of almost all the units and departments of the university.

With an apt theme “Connecting the Global Community Through Research”, WVSU aims to create a productive and fruitful event where global researchers and innovators can share their ideas and new-found knowledge in their respective fields. 

“The World Research and Innovation Festival is an opportunity for the different units in  WVSU to work together and bring out the innovative ideas from global researchers,” Dr. Gabinete said.

According to the WRIF website, the festival is a  multi- and inter-disciplinary conference that provides a venue for local and international researchers to disseminate and exchange ideas on the latest trends and advances in research and innovation. Areas of interest are education, social sciences, pure and applied sciences, medical, health and allied sciences, business, tourism, and hospitality management.
