IN A BID to further its international collaborations, the Mindanao State University-Iligan Institute of Technology partnered with the Laboratory of Animal Genomics of Chungbuk National University of South Korea and MSU-Lanao del Norte Agricultural College.

A tripartite memorandum of understanding was signed between the officials of the three universities last week.

The partnership aims to strengthen the research and teaching activities of each party through collaboration.

MSU-IIT Chancellor Alizedney Ditucalan noted that the university’s recent debut in the THE World University Rankings was marked by its highest score in international outlook, driven by its strong global partnerships.

“With this collaboration, all parties are more than ready to embark on a path of shared knowledge and expertise, leaning toward advancements that will continuously improve their education and research landscape,” MSU-IIT said.

Representatives from various institutions, including Prof. Dr. Kwan Suk Kim from Chungbuk National University, Asst. Prof. Jorge Michael D. Dominguez from UP Los Baños, and several key officials from MSU-LNAC and the College of Science and Mathematics, also attended the signing ceremony.
