Founded in 1859, Ateneo de Manila University is one of the Philippines’ leading institutions of higher education, guided by the Jesuit tradition of forming persons who are competent, compassionate, and committed to the service of the common good. As a comprehensive university, Ateneo offers rigorous academic programs across the humanities, social sciences, business, law, governance, education, and the natural and applied sciences.
Ateneo is known for its strong emphasis on academic excellence, ethical leadership, and nation-building—principles rooted in the Ignatian values of magis, discernment, and service for and with others. Its campus in Quezon City provides a vibrant environment for interdisciplinary learning, research, innovation, and community engagement.
Ateneo is led by Fr. Roberto C. Yap, SJ, President of Ateneo de Manila University and current President of the International Association of Jesuit Universities (IAJU). Under his leadership, Ateneo plays a key role in strengthening global Jesuit higher education collaboration and advancing shared priorities across the worldwide Jesuit university network.
As host of the 5th IAJES Summit 2026, Ateneo affirms its commitment to engineering education that is human-centered, socially engaged, and aligned with the mission of Jesuit institutions worldwide—to help build a more just, sustainable, and hopeful future.
