Why the Need for Massive Support for UP’s suprastructure suprastructure = knowledge capital for innovation capacity resulting from spending on science & technology and research & development 

UP has largest pool of talent and expertise in the country.



UP has greatest potential to produce skilled, competent professionals and high quality R&D and innovation.



UP is uniquely positioned to ensure the continuity and sustainability of high quality R&D, innovation and knowledgebased problem solving in the country.



But UP has to replenish its retiring PhDs (around 400 or 40% of its faculty with PhD) within the next 10 years and augment the pool (at least P3 billlion of funding is needed).



UP researches have to be provided with research funding (at least P1 billion a year on top of commissioned research) to make the faculty productive.



Salaries of UP faculty and staff have to be raised to competitive levels to retain them.

UP 2015 Budget

Gross Expenditure on R&D (GERD)

Building intellectual capital is the single most important investment to become globally competitive.

UNESCO recommends a GERD that is 1% of GDP. Philippine GERD was less than 0.2% of GDP in 2007. UP 2015 Budget
