As a University, ISU is mandated to generate scientific knowledge and innovations which are the driving force for economic growth and development especially for our home province of Isabela. It is therefore expected for ISU to lead in the generation of discipline-based, policy-oriented, demand-driven and innovative knowledge and technologies that are locally responsive and globally competitive. This is in support to CHED’s program of aligning HEI initiatives with national development goals through the conduct of relevant and responsive R & D.

Over the years, the Isabela State University has been pumping ground for innovative ideas and new development initiatives through its pool of experts, researchers, and scientists. The four academic stance in instruction, research and extension to improve quality of learning of students mostly from rural poor sector and addressing the plight of marginal farmers has strengthened our vision to be known as the University for People and Nature!
