OICA Research & Extension Agenda (2024-2026)

OICA Adyenda sa Saliksik at Ekstensiyon (2024–2026)

UPD-OICA is the administrative unit tasked to provide the direction for artistic and cultural activities, projects, and engagements in and by UP Diliman. As the University comes out of the pandemic, which brought to the surface more vividly the social disparities within and beyond the University as well as the limitations in our infrastructure, UPD-OICA sees research and extension work in the fields of cultural studies and the arts as having a critical role in engaging with these issues. 

Ang UPD-OICA ang yunit administratibo na naatasang magtakda ng direksiyon para sa mga programa sa sining at kultura, mga proyekto, at ugnayan sa loob at sa pamamagitan ng UP Diliman. Sa pagbangon ng Unibersidad mula sa pandemya, na lalong naglantad sa mga umiiral na di-pagkakapantay-pantay sa lipunan at sa loob ng kampus, pati na rin sa mga limitasyon ng ating impraestruktura, nakikita ng UPD-OICA ang mahalagang papel ng pananaliksik at gawaing ekstensiyon sa larang ng aralin sa kultura at sining sa pagtugon sa mga usaping ito.

Guided by the general themes of sustainability, equity, and justice, UPD-OICA encourages and supports projects that align with the following United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs):
