The OVCRD Report

The 2013 exhibition had the same physical scale
as the 2012 exhibition. However, there were
more projects featured: five projects under the
“ echnology ransfer” section and 12 projects
under the “ nvergence” section. For the
former, selected registered intellectual
properties of UP Diliman were highlighted; all
of them came from the College of Science. For
the latter, the focus was on projects that fuse
science and art. Their diversity is reflected in
the disciplinal affiliations of their proponents:
Architecture, Engineering, Fine Arts, Home
Economics, and Science. As in the 2012
exhibition, there were interactive set-ups
manned by the project proponents.

UP Diliman hosts the largest number of the
finest scholars and practitioners in the country,
and it is of utmost importance that awards,
grants and funding are made available to these
deserving scholars, researchers and
. Through its Project Management and
Resource Generation Office (PMRGO), the
OVCRD conducted tenacious negotiations
and campaigns with various sectors to increase

natin ang ating exhibition. Kaya Physics man o
painting ang tema high school student man,
consumer, investor o policy maker ay
nakabibisita.”
