In a concerted effort to foster academic excellence and advance research initiatives, R&D-Conner conducted its 4th Quarter Research Proposal Presentation, Mentoring, and Writeshop on December 6.
The event brought together aspiring researchers, seasoned academics, and industry experts, all dedicated to enhancing the quality and impact of research within the community.
The invited speakers and lecturers were Dr. Ehrol C. Bayed from Kalinga State University-Rizal Campus, and Prof. Mary Ann M. Santos from Cagayan State University-Carig Campus. Their engagement not only helped refine their research questions and methodologies but also provided a platform for knowledge exchange and networking.
The day-long event was a blend of insightful presentations, interactive mentoring sessions, and collaborative writeshops. Participants had the opportunity to present their research proposals, receiving constructive feedback from a panel of experienced mentors and peers.
One of the highlights of the event was the mentoring session, where participants were paired with experts in their respective fields. These mentors offered personalized guidance, sharing their vast knowledge and experience to help budding researchers navigate the complexities of academic research. This one-on-one interaction proved invaluable, as it allowed for in-depth discussions and tailored advice.
The writeshop component of the event fostered a spirit of collaboration. Researchers worked in groups, sharing ideas and critiquing each other’s work in a supportive environment. This collaborative approach not only helped improved the quality of individual research proposals but also built a sense of community among participants, encouraging them to support each other’s academic journeys.
The event concluded with a recognition ceremony, where speakers were acknowledged and awarded.
Overall, the 4th Quarter Research Proposal Presentation, Mentoring, and Writeshop 2024 was a resounding success. It highlighted the importance of continuous learning, collaboration, and mentorship in the pursuit of academic and research excellence. R&D-Conner remains committed to supporting and nurturing researchers, and looks forward to hosting similar events in the future to further the cause of scientific inquiry and innovation.
