UP Office of the Vice President for Digital Transformation
ABOUT THE OVPDX
The University of the Philippines officially approved the creation of the UP Office of the Vice President for Digital Transformation (OVPDx) during the 1396th UP Board of Regents Meeting on 30 January 2025. This strategic move is driven by the need for digital infrastructure and system integration, a people-centric digitalization culture, and the expansion of the University’s digital capabilities.
Leveraging on the efforts and accomplishments of the 2024 UP Flagship Program on Digital Transformation, the OVPDx continues to focus on three key pillars: People, Technology, and Processes. These are the foundations upon which the OVPDx will build UP’s digital future.
