Research & Innovation Projects

Showcasing cutting-edge discoveries, patented technologies, and interdisciplinary research from the nine institutes of the UP Diliman College of Science.

Bridging Science and Entrepreneurship

At the UP Diliman College of Science, basic scientific research is the cornerstone of societal transformation. Through the CAPE Innovation Program under the Office of the Associate Dean for Research and Extension (OADRE), our committee systematically bridges the gap between laboratory benchwork and real-world implementation by cataloging intellectual property, providing commercialization roadmaps, and linking researchers directly with industry and government adopters.
