The need for the research was recognized in 2011 by UP President Alfredo E. Pascual during the turn-over ceremony. He pointed out that there is a necessity to keep up with the times, and improve the university’s research and development capability.

President Pascual also recognized the importance of the personnel as resource, and the UP compensation system, including that of housing and healthcare.
