MSEUF advances cross-sectoral dialogue on sustainable development
In 2024, Manuel S. Enverga University Foundation MSEUF strengthened its commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals SDGs by initiating and participating in cross-sectoral dialogues involving academic institutions, government agencies, and non-government organizations. Through these engagements, the university fostered collaboration, knowledge sharing, and collective action toward sustainable development.
In April 2024, MSEUF took part in the First National Summit for International Students and Advisers of Philippine Higher Education Institutions held from April 10 to 13. The summit gathered 22 colleges and universities nationwide to discuss cultural diversity, inclusion, and leadership in international education. MSEUF representatives joined policy discussions on strengthening student mobility and intercultural understanding—areas closely linked to SDG 4 (Quality Education) and SDG 10 (Reduced Inequalities).

Later that year, in November 2024, MSEUF joined the Partners’ Summit 2024 hosted by a national foundation that convened educators, policymakers, entrepreneurs, and innovators. During the event, MSEUF signed a memorandum of understanding to collaborate on entrepreneurship education and micro-credential development, marking another step in advancing SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth) and SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure).

In the same month, the university co-organized the Third International Conference on Advances in Information and Communications Technology held in Vietnam. Faculty members presented research on emerging digital trends and their societal applications, engaging with scholars and industry experts from Southeast Asia. This participation underscored MSEUF’s dedication to knowledge exchange and partnership-building, in line with SDG 17 (Partnerships for the Goals).

These cross-sectoral dialogues highlight MSEUF’s proactive role in shaping and sustaining conversations that address educational, technological, and socio-economic challenges. By bridging academia, government, and industry, the university continues to position itself as a catalyst for collaborative action and adaptive policy development.
Moving forward, MSEUF aims to expand its dialogue platforms to include broader community representation and policy-focused discussions that can translate research insights into practical strategies for sustainable progress. Through these efforts, the university affirms its vision of contributing to a more inclusive and resilient society guided by the principles of mindfulness, service, excellence, unity, and fortitude.
