“Research is what I am doing when I don’t know what I am doing” – Wernher von Braun

            The two-day (Nov. 7-8) Joint In-House Research, Development & Extension Proposal Review was indeed a blast for the three centers spearheading the said event simultaneously held on the key venues in Samar State University Main Campus. With the core value of promoting technology, innovation, and service excellence within the SSU ecosystem, the CESTI, RCCSI, and CFARRD gathered the multidisciplinary faculties to showcase their project proposals before the expert eyes of panelists for constructive criticisms and in-depth analyses for improvement and completion. Thru the Joint IHR the centers hit their respective goals by hitting the two birds with a single shot. The IHR was divided into two major categories; (1) Completed/Ongoing Research Proposals and (2) For 2018 Institutional Funding Category.

He imparted the accomplishments and milestones achieved by the research community in SSU thru the VPRE Office. Dr. Orale also mentioned, some notable projects, research undertakings, and national achievements in the field of research attained by the institution. Dr. Orale encouraged the participants to continue making quality researches and projects to build SSU’s reputation in the RD&E. Making strides and investments in undertaking is a huge factor for the development of SSU in general. The funding for the institutional researchers has gone up for 2018, Dr. Orale added. With these remarkable feat, there will be a wider opportunity for everyone to be a part of the researcher’s family supporting their respective studies and proposals from the start up to its completion.
