Build resilient and inclusive infrastructure, advance sustainable industrialization that benefits local economies, and accelerate access to science, technology, and innovation�especially in developing regions�to bridge digital divides and drive long-term development.
The Scopus report titled “SDG 9 – Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure: Polytechnic University of the Philippines” highlights the University’s research output aligned with Sustainable Development Goal 9, which focuses on building resilient infrastructure, promoting inclusive industrialization, and fostering innovation.
As of the latest data, since 2023, PUP has produced 60 Scopus-indexed documents directly contributing to SDG 9. These include conference papers, journal articles, and book chapters spanning themes such as AI-optimized energy harvesting, sustainable e-waste management, hybrid renewable energy systems, 3D printing, robotics, IoT applications, circular economy frameworks, sustainable construction materials (e.g., rubberized concrete, engineered bamboo), and smart infrastructure monitoring.
Much of this research emphasizes local innovation with global relevance, addressing challenges in Philippine urban and rural contexts while integrating emerging technologies like machine learning, computer vision, and blockchain.
The consistent publication trend—especially in engineering, environmental science, and ICT—demonstrates PUP’s growing role in advancing sustainable industrial and technological development through interdisciplinary, solution-oriented scholarship.
The document titled “SDG 9 Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure – Indicator 9.4.1: IPO Report”presents data on research income from industry and commerce per academic staff at the Polytechnic University of the Philippines (PUP) for 2024, categorized by discipline.
It reports Full-Time Equivalent (FTE) academic staff counts across three subject areas: 457.5 in Arts and Humanities/Social Sciences, 167 in STEM, and 11 in Medicine.
The indicator aims to measure institutional engagement with industry through research funding, using FTE academic staff as the denominator. The report clarifies that academic staff include those involved inteaching, research, or both (e.g., professors, postdoctoral researchers), but excludes research assistants, clinicians without academic roles, technicians, and inactive or visiting staff.
