Taking Inventory: A Catalog of Research,
Creative Work and Extension Units in UP Diliman

As part of its proactive efforts towards
fostering multi-disciplinary collaborations in
the campus, the OVCRD compiled and
published in January 2013 an inventory of
research, creative work and extension units
(RCWEUs) in UP Diliman. This preliminary,
but quite comprehensive, inventory profiles
104 RCWEUs: 25 centers, 24 institutes, 32
laboratories, 2 studios, 5 studio laboratories, 9
extension units, and 7 other types of facilities.
Of the 104 RCWEUs, 12 are identified with the
Arts and Letters cluster; 14, with Social
Sciences and Law; 14, with Management and
Economics; 17, with Science and Technology –
Engineering; and 43, with Science and
Technology – Science and other disciplines.
Four (4) units do not belong to any particular
cluster.
In profiling the RCWEUs, the following
information was indicated: the name of the
unit; the date when the unit was established;
the unit’s mandate or mission; flagship
programs and/or major activities of the unit;
functions of the unit (research, creative work,
extension/outreach, training/continuing
education programs, consultancy, academic
and administrative); home institution/s; nature
of home institution/s (academic,
administrative, training); head of unit’s title
(e.g., Director, Coordinator, etc.); and contact
details.

While the inventory is a work in progress, it is
nevertheless an efficient tool and reference for
UP Diliman constituents and current and
future R&D partners.
