The University of the Philippines Office of the Vice President for Research and Innovation, headed by VP Joel Marciano, convened academic and research leaders for the UP Graduate Mentorship and Research Summit III, Feb. 5 at UP Diliman.
Anchored on the theme “Strengthening UP’s Leadership as the Country’s Premier Graduate, Research, and Public Service University: Policies, Programs, and Pathways Forward,” the summit gathered heads of academic units offering Master’s programs as their highest degree to identify strategies and policy directions that will strengthen graduate mentorship and promote student success.
Participants engaged in focused discussions and workshops, and toured selected UPD laboratories and studios to examine ways to enhance Master’s education, research, and public service initiatives.
The first Research Summit was held on Sept. 23-24, 2025, followed by the second on Dec. 15 that same year, each bringing together different sets of academic leaders to advance UP’s graduate education and research agenda.
