DLSU Research Congress 2020
De La Salle University, Manila, Philippines
June 17-19, 2020
Theme: Building Resilient, Innovative, and Sustainable Societies
The world faces various types of natural calamities (such as earthquakes, typhoons, droughts, forest fires, and volcanic eruptions, among others) which have devastating effects on people and communities. Aside from this, man-made disasters (such as major fires, explosions, transportation accidents, and release of toxic substances into the environment) may also occur, thereby posing threats and hazards to society.
To address these challenges, researchers can create new knowledge and propose solutions that will mitigate the negative impacts of these challenges and turn them into opportunities. The DLSU Research Congress 2020 highlights the need for societies to cope and recover from these challenges by generating knowledge and by pursuing resilient, innovative, and sustainable development approaches.
