The Central Bicol State University of Agriculture (CBSUA) highlighted student research excellence during the 2026 Science and Technology Excellence Awards Competition (STEAC), held virtually via Zoom on June 9โ10, 2026. The two-day event gathered graduating undergraduate and graduate students from across the Universityโs colleges and campuses, featuring research outputs aligned with innovation and agro-industrial development.
Now a continuing institutional competition, STEAC serves as a venue for presenting student research outputs with practical applications in areas such as food security, environmental management, energy, and socio-economic development. The activity is anchored on CBSUAโs vision of becoming a leading agro-industrial research university.
The competition featured three categories: Graduate Papers, Undergraduate Papers, and E-Poster Presentations, with entries covering a wide range of studies including agriculture, fisheries, engineering, veterinary science, education, and emerging technologies. A total of 17 graduate papers, 10 undergraduate papers, and 51 e-posters were presented and evaluated by panels of experts from various disciplines.
Day 1 opened with program messages from university officials, followed by simultaneous paper presentations. Day 2 continued with presentations and e-poster judging, culminating in the announcement of winners and awarding of certificates. Cash prizes and recognition were given to top-performing entries across all categories, while advisers and participants also received certificates of recognition.
Winning entries are set to be recommended for publication and possible nomination to regional and national competitions, further advancing CBSUAโs commitment to research dissemination and innovation.
With STEAC 2026, CBSUA continues to strengthen a culture of research excellence among students, providing a platform for innovation that contributes to both academic growth and community development. | ๐๐ฆ๐ฑ๐ฐ๐ณ๐ต ๐ข๐ฏ๐ฅ ๐ฑ๐ฉ๐ฐ๐ต๐ฐ๐ด ๐ง๐ณ๐ฐ๐ฎ ๐๐ข๐ณ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ฆ ๐๐ข๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ด ๐ข๐ฏ๐ฅ ๐๐ข๐ฌ๐ฆ ๐๐ข๐ฏ๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ด
