Eastern Visayas State University

Eastern Visayas State University is a large public regional university serving Eastern Visayas, with a main campus in Tacloban City, multiple campuses across Leyte, and more than 12,000 students at its main campus. Its Office of Research, Innovation, and Extension Services channels collaborative research, technical assistance, knowledge transfer, and community deployment. The Metals and Engineering Innovation Center, Natural Textile Fiber Innovation Hub, and Eastern Visayas Food Innovation Center provide routes to prototyping, product development, incubation, and commercialization with industry and public-sector partners. Formal agreements with local governments, national agencies, hospitals, community organizations, and enterprises extend EVSU’s reach beyond campus. Research is supported by competitive Philippine government funding, particularly from the Department of Science and Technology and the Commission on Higher Education; intellectual-property and technology-business-management activities help move university outputs toward adoption.
