The Cagayan Valley Industry, Energy and Emerging Technology Research and Development Consortium (CVIEERDEC), through its IP Protection and Utilization Committee led by Dost Region II, successfully conducted the 2-day “Capacity-Building Seminar Series on Intellectual Property Protection and Commercialization” on May 7 and 12, 2026 via Zoom.

The activity aimed to strengthen awareness and enhance the capacity of stakeholders in intellectual property (IP) protection, management, and commercialization in support of innovation, research utilization, and technology transfer initiatives in the region.
Serving as Resource Speaker for both sessions was Engr. Janica B. Tacazon, IP Field Operations Specialist of the Intellectual Property Satellite Office Tuguegarao – Region 2. Through her expertise and engaging discussions, participants gained valuable insights on intellectual property protection, management, emerging technologies, and commercialization strategies for research and innovation outputs.

The two-part seminar covered the topics Session 1: “IP Fundamentals and Protection Strategies” and Session 2: “Advanced IP, Emerging Tech, and Commercialization,” highlighting the importance of protecting innovations and maximizing the potential of research outputs through technology transfer, licensing, and commercialization.

The activity gathered a total of one hundred forty (140) participants from academic institutions, government agencies, local government units (LGUs), private sector partners, and other stakeholders involved in research, innovation, and technology development.

This initiative was spearheaded by Dr. Victor B. Perlas, Jr., IP Protection and Utilization Committee Chair of CVIEERDEC and Science Research Specialist II of DOST Region 02, under the leadership and support of Dr. Audy R. Quebral, Director of CVIEERDEC and Vice President for Research and Development and Extension of Cagayan State University, represented by Dr. Gilbert C. Magulod, Jr., the Director for KTMPO of CSU, together with Dr. Arthur G. Ibañez, ASEAN Engr., CESE, Chairperson of CVIEERDEC and OIC-University President of Cagayan State University.

Through initiatives such as this seminar series, CVIEERDEC continues to promote innovation, strengthen intellectual property awareness, and empower institutions and stakeholders toward sustainable research and technology commercialization in the Cagayan Valley Region.

|| CVIEERDEC STRENGTHENS REGIONAL R&D COLLABORATION IN FIRST QUARTER MEETING

The Cagayan Valley Industry, Energy, and Emerging Technology Research and Development Consortium (CVIEERDEC) conducted its first-quarter meeting on March 30, 2026, via Zoom, bringing together member institutions to align priorities and strengthen regional collaboration.

Chaired by Cagayan State University (CSU) Officer-in-Charge President Dr. Arthur G. Ibañez, emphasized that research initiatives must extend beyond institutions to deliver measurable benefits to local communities, particularly at the barangay level.

Dr. Ibañez highlighted the importance of transferring technologies, strengthening soft skills, and integrating ICT solutions to improve community engagement and development outcomes.

Supporting this direction, Engr. Audy R. Quebral, Consortium Director and CSU Vice President for Research, Development, and Extension, encouraged continued collaboration among member institutions, stressing that the consortium serves as a vital platform for sharing expertise and resources.

Engr. Quebral likewise expressed gratitude to the members for the 23 proposals recently evaluated and submitted under the 2026 calls for capability development and concept proposals, expressing optimism for funding support.

The meeting prioritized strengthening consortium operations and R&D capacity by crafting a regional S&T agenda, recommending policies to PCIEERD and regional councils, and expanding resource-sharing mechanisms. To support these goals, the consortium established Technical Working Groups for Research and Development, Capability Building, Intellectual Property Protection and Utilization, and Linkages and Networks.

CVIEERDEC, composed of higher education institutions, government agencies, and the private sectors, continues to serve as a cornerstone for advancing research innovation in industry, energy, and emerging technology in Cagayan Valley.
