In its relentless pursuit of excellence in research and technology, FEU Alabang, FEU Diliman, and FEU Institute of Technology continuously spearhead events that cultivate cutting-edge research collaborations both locally and globally.
One of the most anticipated initiatives is the 5th International Collaboration on Technology (iTECH 2024), which transitioned from its virtual format in 2021, to in-person last July 8, 2024, at the FEU Tech Innovation Center, drawing a dynamic crowd of students and faculty from diverse educational backgrounds.
The event kicked off with inspiring keynote addresses by distinguished speakers at the forefront of computing and technology. Among them was Prof. Chul-Soo Ye, Ph.D., from Far East University in Korea, renowned for his pioneering work in AI Computer Engineering. Dr. Rosemarie G. Edillon, Undersecretary for National Development Policy and Planning at NEDA, shared invaluable insights into the evolving tech landscape in the Philippines. Adding an international perspective, Prof. Ming-Che Hsieh, Ph.D., Director of the Library and Information Center at National Taitung University in Taiwan highlighted global trends in innovation.
NEDA Undersecretary for National Development Policy and Planning, Dr. Rosemarie G. Edillon, delved into the evolving tech landscape and innovative government practices in the Philippines.
iTECH 2024 wasn't just about passive listening—it buzzed with interactive parallel sessions. These sessions covered a wide array of tracks, including expert systems, remote sensing, image processing, and the Internet of Things. Students eagerly presented their latest findings on Integrated and Applied Technologies and Creative Development-Focused Technologies, while faculty delved into Specialized Applications and Core Technologies.
A student proudly presented the engaging animation of their research project, “Track2Track: A Digital Communication Plan on Passenger Information Dissemination for LRT-2.”
Under the overarching theme of "Empowering Tomorrow: Exploring the Frontiers of Research through Technology and Innovation," iTECH 2024 provided an immersive platform. It equipped budding technologists and researchers with the tools and inspiration needed to tackle pressing computing challenges of today and tomorrow.
FEU Alabang, FEU Diliman, and FEU Institute of Technology stand unwavering in their commitment to shaping the future of technology. As they continue to uphold the highest standards of research excellence, they reaffirm their status as #TheSchoolsOfInnovation.
