Research Congress 2018

De La Salle University, Manila, Philippines
June 20-22, 2018

Theme: Building Impact on Firm Foundations (From Basics to Applications)

Basic research serves as the bedrock and firm foundation for building impactful applications to sciences and humanities, which can be put together to solve real problems on poverty, gender, energy, disease, business, and economy. Seeing things (e.g. products, technologies, and processes) with a new perspective brings back the excitement and simple joy of curiosity and discovery, propelling us to the next level of scientific breakthroughs and innovations.
