ST. PAUL UNIVERSITY MANILA is committed to its vision and mission of making a difference to the Church and society through transformative education and tranquil daring approaches. Research, a core component of quality education, is an avenue for Paulinians to be empowered and push forward evidence-based and compassionate results for the good of all.
The 2026-2029 University Research Agenda takes into consideration the strategic thrusts of the Sisters of St. Paul of Chartres (SPC) Education Ministry, the Paulinian core values, the Sustainable Development Goals, as well as the various national and international research agendas of relevant external institutions (CHED ACHIEVE Agenda and TEC NTERA (National Teacher Education Research Agenda), DepEd, Laudato Si, NUHRA and DOST).
This agenda, collaboratively created by the President’s and Academic Council members, through various sessions and platforms, will serve as basis for the College Research Agenda to ensure that research productivity is aligned with the direction set by the university and anchored on the various national and international research agendas of relevant external institutions.
The research themes are not meant to be understood, implemented, and evaluated separately, but may be referred to collectively, if necessary. Moreover, interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary research across colleges and research themes is encouraged and supported. Monitoring and review of the agenda will be done annually, while the updating will be done every three years to be in sync with the university strategic planning schedule.
