Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University (DMMMSU) forged a partnership for global research initiatives during the 3rd International Conference on Management and Social Sciences held in Bangkok, Thailand, on November 23-24, 2024.

The university formalized international research collaborations through the signing of a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with two India-based organizations:  Academia Research Lab Private Ltd (ARL) and the Global Research Alliance for Integrative Solutions and Innovation (GRAISI) Foundation

DMMMSU was represented by Dr. Jomar L. Aban, Director for Publication; and Prof. Randulph I. Navasca, Director for Disaster Risk Reduction Management, who were both members of the organizing committee and presented their research at the event.

Besides forging MOAs with the two institutions, they also earned major distinctions: Dr. Aban was awarded the Best Paper Award for his study on Bible-based interventions for depression, while Prof. Navasca was recognized as the Best Paper Presenter for his research on LET readiness among TLE pre-service teachers. These accolades underscore DMMMSU’s commitment to global research excellence and international collaboration. (By RMV)
