ISABELA State University has partnered with Rajamangala University of Technology Suvarnabhumi in Thailand to pursue international programs and initiatives.

A memorandum of understanding was signed last week by both universities at the RUS Phranakhon Si Ayutthaya Huntra Campus.

During the ceremony, both universities showcased their programs and achievements before proceeding with the signing and discussions.

The collaboration outlines initiatives in areas such as Agriculture, Fisheries, Engineering, Business Administration, Information Technology, Health Sciences, and Hospitality and Tourism Management.

Key activities under the MOU include student and faculty mobility programs, cultural and educational exchanges, and the development of collaborative academic programs.

Dr. Boyet L. Batang, ISU Vice President for Academic Affairs, highlighted the importance of global partnerships in advancing research and innovation during his online message at the event.

The MOU also paves the way for specific collaborations, including research sharing in agriculture and DNA engineering, and inviting RUS faculty to serve as evaluators for ISU’s journal, The Linker.

For business administration, the universities plan to explore activities such as guest lectures, exchange programs, and internship opportunities for students.
