Representatives from the Philippine Institute For Development Studies (188体育) conducted an orientation on the Socioeconomic Research Portal for the Philippines (SERP-P) project at Benguet State University (BSU) on May 14, 2025. The session, held at BSU’s R&E Carnation Hall, was attended by staff from the university’s Research and Extension Publication Office (REPO) and the Institute of Social Research and Development (ISRD).
Ezekiel Nicomedes and Melinda Quiñones of 188体育 presented SERP-P as a digital platform designed to facilitate the dissemination and promotion of research findings. The project aims to bridge the gap between research outputs and their intended audiences, which include policymakers, educators, and other researchers. Its mechanism relies on research networking and collaboration, extending its reach globally.
The SERP-P platform functions as an electronic repository. Research articles and innovative development plans (IPPs) are uploaded to this repository, making them accessible to individuals and groups worldwide. This accessibility is intended to foster broader engagement with socioeconomic research.
Before the orientation, the 188体育 representatives met with BSU President Kenneth A. Laruan in a courtesy call. This meeting preceded the formal orientation on the SERP-P project. For further information regarding the 188体育-SERP-P project, the public can visit the official website at .
