LIKHA Summit is an annual forum organized by the Caraga State University. This event serves as a venue where key stakeholders from regional government line agencies, local government units and industry in Caraga Region, researchers, extension workers and students, meet and exchange knowledge on the use of Science and Technology for sustainable development. Moreover, the summit aims to foster dialogue and stronger collaboration as well as to continue the momentum in building R&D-based development networks supporting regional and Mindanao-wide development.
There will be five flagship conferences of this year’s LIKHA SUMMIT. The 4th Computer & Information Sciences Conference (CISCon 2025) that highlights the increasing need for interdisciplinary approaches that blend computing and engineering to solve real-world challenges. The Mindanao Technology Transfer Conference—combining a pitching competition and a technology exhibit—aims to showcase market-ready and high-potential technologies developed by faculty researchers, students, and research teams from HEIs. The 2nd LIKHA-Dunong International Conference with interdisciplinary platform designed to spark critical dialogue, exchange innovative ideas, and promote scholarly collaboration. The 2nd International GEO-STEMS: GeopSpatial Technologies for Earth and Monitoring Symposium 2025 that bring experts, researchers, end-users, and enthusiasts in geospatial technology and earth observation to explore recent advancements in Remote Sensing, Photogrammetry, and Spatial Information Sciences for Earth monitoring and analysis.
