Bringing to life the theme <\/span>\u201cThe Nucleus of Innovation: Microbiology Connecting Disciplines and Sectors,\u201d<\/b> Leave a Nest Philippines will hold an <\/span>Ignition Session<\/b> at the <\/span>Microbiology Innovation Summit 2026 (MIS2026)<\/b> on <\/span>November 16, 2026<\/b>, at the <\/span>Henry Luce III Library, Central Philippine University, Iloilo City<\/b>. The session will bring together participants from different institutions and fields to develop collaborative ideas that address societal challenges.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the Ignition Session, participants form teams, exchange knowledge and perspectives, and combine their expertise to propose solutions under specific themes. Submitted ideas will be reviewed, with selected teams presenting their proposals and receiving questions and feedback from the theme partners. Awards will then recognize the ideas that best capture the message of each theme.<\/span><\/p>\n

Partnering with us for this session is <\/span>Co-Lab Life Sciences<\/b>, which joins <\/span>Leave a Nest Philippines<\/b> in encouraging participants to explore how the Philippines\u2019 microbial resources and the local challenges of Visayas can become starting points for new research, technologies, and collaborations.<\/span><\/p>\n

MIS2026 Ignition Session Themes<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/td>\n\n

Theme 1: \u201cCataloguing And Leveraging the Natural Microbial Resources of the Philippines to Address Local and National Challenges\u201d<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

This theme invites participants to develop ideas for identifying, documenting, and applying the Philippines\u2019 natural microbial resources to address the needs of communities and industries. Proposals may explore applications in agriculture, food production, health, and environmental management, connecting the study of local microorganisms with practical solutions.<\/span><\/p>\n

Through this theme, Co-Lab Life Sciences encourages participants to consider how a better understanding of microbial resources can open opportunities for research and development, and how collaboration can help bring these discoveries closer to use.<\/span><\/p>\n

Theme 2: \u201cIslands as Living Laboratories: Turning Local Challenges in Visayas into Global Solutions through Interdisciplinary Innovation\u201d<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

This theme encourages participants to draw from the challenges experienced by communities across Visayas and develop ideas that bring together different disciplines. By approaching the region\u2019s islands as living laboratories, teams are invited to connect local knowledge and experience with research, technology, and perspectives from other fields.<\/span><\/p>\n

The goal is to develop solutions grounded in local needs while considering how the resulting knowledge and approaches could benefit communities facing similar challenges elsewhere. Participants are encouraged to look beyond their own expertise and explore what becomes possible when different fields work together.<\/span><\/p>\n

Connecting Knowledge, Creating Lasting Collaborations<\/b><\/h2>\n

Proposals for the MIS2026 Ignition Session will be evaluated based on two general criteria:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Capturing the message of the chosen theme.<\/b> The proposal should reflect the theme\u2019s core message, demonstrating how the team\u2019s combined knowledge and perspectives address the challenges and opportunities it presents.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Developing actionable project ideas beyond the conference.<\/b> The proposal should go beyond suggesting a solution and identify a collaborative project. Teams should consider what they can work on together and the practical next steps needed to move their idea forward after the summit.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    More than a platform for proposing solutions, the Ignition Session aims to turn exchanges of knowledge into starting points for collaborative projects.<\/b> Participants are encouraged to think not only about what could address a challenge, but also about what they can begin doing together after MIS2026.<\/span><\/p>\n
