These initiatives aim to strengthen the University’s capacity in climate monitoring, environmental data collection, and coffee research and innovation, supporting evidence-based planning and sustainable agricultural development in the province.

Also presented during the meeting was the project “𝐂𝐈𝐓𝐑𝐔𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲𝐚: 𝐄𝐧𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐀𝐝𝐨𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐂𝐢𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐬 𝐓𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐄𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐦" funded by the Department of Science and Technology – Philippine Council for Agriculture, Aquatic and Natural Resources Research and Development (DOST–PCAARRD) led by project leader 𝐌𝐬. 𝐒𝐡𝐞𝐞𝐧𝐚 𝐋𝐲𝐧 𝐕. 𝐑𝐚𝐦𝐨𝐬. The project focuses on strengthening the dissemination and promotion of citrus technologies through strategic communication approaches to improve reach, understanding, and adoption among target stakeholders.

The inception meeting was attended by the heads and representatives of key administrative offices, including the Human Resource Management Office, Accounting Office, Procurement Office, Financial Management Office, Budget Office, Internal Audit Office, and Supply Office. Their participation was instrumental in aligning administrative, financial, and operational processes with project requirements and funding agency guidelines.

Discussions during the meeting focused on the clarification of project deliverables, implementation timelines, and coordination mechanisms, with particular emphasis on financial management aspects.
