The Ateneo de Davao University School of Engineering and Architecture (AdDU SEA) welcomed the MJ-STeP Japanese delegation, headed by Mr. Yoshiaki Miwa, President of MJ-STeP, former Ambassador of Japan to the Solomon Islands, and former Consul General in Davao, as part of the delegation’s second visit to the Philippines for the development of a joint research collaboration.
A key purpose of the visit was the participation of Prof. Toyonobu “Nobu” Usuki, Ph.D. of Sophia University, who has kindly agreed to serve as Principal Investigator coordinating the joint research project.
Through discussions with Philippine researchers and relevant government agencies, the delegation aims to gain a comprehensive understanding of the proposed collaboration and its overall framework.
The visit also included discussions, coordination with Philippine-side researchers, and field survey activities intended to support the formulation of the joint research plan and identify opportunities for meaningful and sustained collaboration.
AdDU SEA is grateful for the opportunity to engage with the MJ-STeP delegation and looks forward to contributing to a productive international research partnership.
