Now on its third series, the VSU Department of Statistics in collaboration with the Data Science Institute of Universiteit Hasselt (UHasselt) in Belgium successfully ended the two-week International Training Program (ITP) workshop on co-creating environmental citizen science in the Philippines.

VSU is privileged as one of the university partners of the Bioeconomy Economics Research Group from the University of Passau (UniPassau) in Germany to work on joint research on the valorization of residues for bio-based products, particularly, tropical fruits.

Dr. Moises Neil V. Seriño, Dean of the College of Management and Economics, and Mr. Dhenber Lusanta of the Ecological Farm and Resources Management Institute (Eco-FARMI) took part in the Special Lecture Series on Climate Resilient Agriculture in Bangkok, Thailand as invited resource speakers and collaborating experts.

As part of the massive internationalization program of the university, the International Affairs Office (IAO) conducted an integration and cultural exposure program for new foreign students to orient them about Filipino culture including academic guidelines and other institutional policies followed by the university.

Three years after VSU was granted the affiliate membership, the Southeast Asian University Consortium for Graduate Education in Agriculture and Natural Resources, or the University Consortium (UC), accorded VSU as one of its regular members.
