Lay administrators from the University of San Jose–Recoletos (USJ-R) and representatives from Southern Taiwan University of Science and Technology (STUST), Osaka Institute of Technology (OIT), and Saint Michael’s College of Laguna (SMCL) gathered for a meeting aimed at exploring opportunities for future international collaboration as part of International Project Based Learning (IPBL) 2026, hosted this year by the USJ-R School of Computer Studies.
The meeting served as a platform for the participating institutions to exchange ideas, share experiences, and discuss possible areas of cooperation in education, research, project-based learning, and international academic engagement.
The gathering highlighted the importance of strengthening partnerships among higher education institutions, particularly in creating opportunities for students, faculty members, and administrators to gain international exposure and participate in collaborative learning experiences.
According to Prof. Aaron Raymond See, Associate Professor of the National Chin-Yi University of Technology, meaningful collaboration develops through continuous interaction and shared experiences. He emphasized that partnerships are built gradually, beginning with conversations and strengthened through the willingness of institutions to learn from one another.
The discussions also focused on how participating institutions can build on their respective strengths and experiences to develop projects that promote innovation, leadership, research, and cross-cultural learning.
