Biliran Province State University (BiPSU), through the Research and Development Office (RDO) and in collaboration with the Visayas Consortium for Agriculture, Aquatic, and Natural Resources Program (ViCARP) and Department of Science and Technology (DOST), is set to enhance its research capabilities in Information and Communication Technology (ICT) as it received ICT equipment amounting to more than five hundred thousand (500,000) pesos from the DOST-Philippine Council for Agriculture, Aquatic, and Natural Resources Research and Development (DOST-PCAARRD).

The technology grant was formally turned over during the Inauguration of Facilities, Ceremonial Turn Over of ICT Equipment, and Visit to Other PCAARRD-Funder Projects at the Visayas State University (VSU) last July 15, with Dr. Pearl Irish de Paz, RDO director, representing BiPSU. 

Further, BiPSU President Dr. Victor C. Cañezo, Jr. emphasized that the ICT resources will be utilized in converting the old president’s office as a teleconferencing center, designed to support a range of university activities, not limited to research but extending to all types of events requiring virtual meetings.

Moreover, this initiative aimed at enhancing the ICT infrastructure for the ViCARP and Consortium Member Institution (CMI), which aims to identifying the number of internet service providers, improving collaboration and coordination performance within CMIs, enhancing ICT-hosted meetings such as Zoom or Google Meet, and maximizing the use of ICT connectivity for efficient communication and collaboration.

It is important to note that in order to utilize the new facility, departments must coordinate through the RDO.
