Mariano Marcos State University (MMSU) continues to explore opportunities to strengthen its international research collaborations in environmental technologies as Vice President for Resource Generation and Management Bjorn Santos participated in an international research and training program on sustainable development and net-zero emissions at the National Tsing Hua University (NTHU) in Hsinchu, Taiwan from October 12 to 22, 2026.

The program, titled “International Joint Research and Training Workshop on Environmentally Green Technology for Sustainable Development Goals and Net Zero Emission,” was organized by NTHU’s Institute of Analytical and Environmental Sciences and supported by Taiwan’s National Science and Technology Council.

The 10-day training covered environmental sustainability, low-carbon energy, and green technologies through laboratory activities and field trips.

The program aimed to address environmental pollution and climate change associated with industrialization and fossil fuel use, while exploring green technologies that support sustainable development and net-zero emissions.

Santos’ participation reflects MMSU’s continuing efforts to strengthen international research collaborations in green technology, net-zero emissions, and sustainability solutions that address environmental challenges and support global sustainability goals.
