In addition, the 6th International STEAM+ Research Congressโ€™ partner institutions, namely: the Philippine-American Academy of Science and Engineering (PAASE), Asia Professional Education Network (APEN), Eastern Visayas Consortium for Industry, Energy, and Emerging Technology Research and Development (EVCIEERD), and Department of Science and Technology- Philippine Council for Industry, Energy, and Emerging Technology Research and Development (DOST-PCIEERD), were given a certificate of appreciation for their valuable support which has contributed to the success of this yearโ€™s edition of the iSTEAM+ research congress.

Details regarding the 7th International STEAM+ Research Congress are also revealed during the closing program, with the theme โ€œSTEAM+ for Sustainable Futures: Bridging Research, Innovation, and Extension,โ€ scheduled on 24-26 September 2024 at Summit Hotel, Tacloban City, Philippines.

The next yearโ€™s iSTEAM+ research congress will put emphasis on the following six conference topics: 1.) Science for Sustainability; 2.) Technology and Innovation; 3.) Engineering for Sustainable Solutions; 4.) Agri-Fisheries, Food Security, Nutrition and Dietetics; 5.) Mathematics, and; 6.) Social Sciences.

In her closing message, the EVSU Vice President for Research & Development, and Extension Services, Dr. Analyn C. Espaรฑo, relayed her message of gratitude to everyone who took part in this yearsโ€™ iSTEAM+ Research Congress โ€“ from the keynote and plenary speakers, paper presenters and participants, to the EVSU administrators, officials and faculty members, and staff behind each committee.

โ€œWe hope to immortalize this conference because this is not all about here and now, but about making now a good start for tomorrow and beyond. From the various plenary and parallel sessions, we have takeaways, interdisciplinary insights, light bulb moments, and best practices to benchmark and adopt,โ€ Dr. Espaรฑo stated in her closing message.
