CREATES Agenda
Established in 2010, CVSC is tasked with coordinating, supporting, and promoting research aligned with regional and global priorities, particularly through the CREATES framework.
Creativity and the Humanities
Creativity and the Humanities highlight the unique human capacity for creativity, emotion, and spirit—qualities that cannot be replicated by artificial intelligence. This category encompasses disciplines such as the arts, culture, design, communication, and creative industries. Creative industries include fields like advertising, art markets, craft, fashion, video, film, photography, interactive games, music, public arts, publishing, printing, computer services, software, and television and radio broadcasting.
Resilient and Sustainable Communities
Resilient and Sustainable Communities are engendered by research and extension works in the fields of political science, psychology, development communication, management, economics, responsible corporate governance, entrepreneurship, socio-ecological systems, health and food security, and disaster risk management.

Getting Started
Advocacies for the Common Good include good governance, media literacy, financial literacy, social entrepreneurship, women empowerment, gender equality, children’s rights, human rights, indigenous peoples’ rights, poverty alleviation, peace building, social marketing for the social good, physical and mental health.
Construction
Technological Innovations arise from various fields of study at the university, with the goal of developing technologies that improve lives, environmental conditions, communities, and the world. These innovations may span areas such as governance, business, education, communication, physics, environmental science, and product design. Examples include applications in disaster risk management, climate change adaptation or mitigation, crime reduction, and solving transportation challenges.
Educational Research and Innovations
Educational Research and Innovations seek to enhance teaching, learning, and pedagogy, particularly in response to the disruption caused by AI. These innovations explore how AI can be integrated effectively into teaching methods, balancing technological benefits with the need for human-centered education. Research can focus on developing AI literacy frameworks, ensuring that both students and educators can navigate and critically engage with AI tools. Additionally, studies can investigate AI’s impact on learning outcomes, equity, and access, proposing strategies to address potential inequalities and ensure AI complements, rather than replaces, human interaction in the classroom.
Service to the Community at UP Cebu
Service to the Community at UP Cebu is deeply integrated with research through initiatives like service learning, Pahinungod, and extension projects where faculty and students work directly with local communities. These initiatives integrate research by addressing local needs through evidence-based approaches, ensuring that service and extension efforts are informed by data and research findings.
