ABOUT IAJES Asia-Pacific 2025

The International Association of Jesuit Engineering and Sciences Schools (IAJES) Asia-Pacific Regional Conference is a biennial gathering—now entering its 2nd edition—where Jesuit educators, researchers, and students come together to foster collaboration, innovation, and formation rooted in Jesuit values.

In a region marked by rapid development, social inequalities, ecological vulnerabilities, and deep cultural diversity, the Asia-Pacific stands at the forefront of urgent global challenges—and bold new possibilities. This year’s summit theme, “Integral Innovation: Engineering and the Sciences for a Just and Sustainable Future,” invites Jesuit institutions to lead in shaping a future where technological and scientific advancement is guided by ethical responsibility, solidarity with the poor, and care for our common home.
Rooted in the Jesuit tradition of holistic formation and service to the margins, the summit aims to foster cross-disciplinary dialogue, promote student-led initiatives, and build regional partnerships. It calls on educators, researchers, practitioners, and students to reimagine the role of science and engineering not only as tools for progress, but as pathways toward equity, peace, and ecological integrity.

ABOUT THE HOST

This year, the conference is hosted by Xavier University – Ateneo de Cagayan (XU) in Cagayan de Oro City, Philippines. Established in 1933 by Fr. James T. G. Hayes, S.J., as Ateneo de Cagayan, XU has since grown into a premier Catholic and Jesuit institution serving Northern Mindanao .

Xavier University – Ateneo de Cagayan (XU)

XU earned university status in 1958, becoming the first university in Mindanao and notably the first Jesuit university in the Philippines—granted its name in honor of St. Francis Xavier.

Guided by the Ignatian ideal of forming men and women for others, XU is committed to academic excellence, ethical leadership, and community engagement. Its College of Engineering exemplifies this mission by producing technically competent graduates with a strong sense of social responsibility. Serving as this year’s host, XU exemplifies the Jesuit tradition of integrating science, engineering, and human values to respond creatively to contemporary challenges across the Asia-Pacific region.

About Cagayan de Oro City, Philippines

Cagayan de Oro City, also known as the “City of Golden Friendship,” is a thriving urban hub in Northern Mindanao that warmly welcomes both local and international visitors. Beyond being a center for commerce and education, CDO is a gateway to some of Mindanao’s most breathtaking natural attractions—rivers, mountains, and nearby islands. Its strategic location and reputation for hospitality make it the perfect setting for this year’s IAJES Asia Pacific Assembly.
