The University of the Philippines and the De La Salle University today signed a five-year Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to strengthen academic cooperation particularly in the areas of social entrepreneurship and service learning.

The two universities will pursue collaborative initiatives in research, academic programs, and social engagement. “This notable partnership, a conscious effort to promote a culture of sustainability in the country, will have a far-reaching impact not only on our respective institutions, but on the broader academic and national communities we serve,” said UP President Angelo A. Jimenez.
