Global Engagement | CAS prof starts research stint in Canada

Main campus’ College of Arts and Sciences academic Dr. Robert Jay Angco has officially started his research work in Canada, under the 2026–2027 Canada-ASEAN Scholarships and Educational Exchanges for Development-Phase 2 (SEED-2) Program.

Following results on June 13th, Dr. Angco, alongside three others from Cebu Technological University, is hosted by the institution’s long-time ally Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM).

He is receiving a grant worth C$10,200 (approximately ₱420,000) for visa processing fees, round-trip international airfare, health insurance, accommodation, utilities, meals, domestic transportation, books, academic supplies, and other living and study-related expenses throughout the semester-long stay at UQAM.

Funded by the Canadian government, the program primarily supports innovation, research collaboration, and institutional partnerships among higher education institutions across ASEAN and Canada.
