About the CS Innovation Program

Advancing scientific excellence for national development. We serve as the translation bridge connecting the nine institutes of the College of Science with industry partners, policymakers, and communities.

Our Mission

To promote scientific advancement for nation-building. Grounded in the UP Charter, the CS Innovation Committee cultivates creativity, forges meaningful partnerships with policymakers and industry leaders, and facilitates the transfer of scientific knowledge and laboratory technologies to address urgent societal challenges.

Our Vision

The Innovation Committee serves as the primary catalyst for the recognition and support of the UP Diliman College of Science as a premier national provider of scientific and technological solutions by 2028.

Strategic Objectives
  • Discovery-to-Product Pathways: Inspire faculty, researchers, and students to pursue agendas with clear utilization and patent potential.
  • Bridge Academic R&D with Industry: Connect laboratory research across CS institutes with commercial and public adopters.
  • Protect & Nurture Intellectual Assets: Maintain a dedicated operational system assisting inventors in IP protection, IDF filing, and licensing.
