The University of the Philippines Baguio is the "UP of the North" with a niche in Indigenous Studies in the Philippines, particularly Cordillera Studies. As an active participant in the sustainable development of Baguio City, UP Baguio is organizing the International Conference on Southeast Asian Crafts and Folk Art to support and enrich the city as a member of the UNESCO Creative Cities Network. UP Baguio (largely through the Office of the Chancellor) was instrumental in the process of applying for the UNESCO Creative City Declaration. UP Baguio is also one of the leading institutions (along with the LGU, DOT-CAR, DTI-CAR, and BACCI) in the implementation of the 4-year plan of action (2018-2022) in order to sustain Baguio’s status as a Creative City. This community engagement is in fulfillment of UP Baguio’s vision: “to be a premier Art and Sciences University” and mission: “to serve as a hub of knowledge development in Northern Luzon.” This is also a realization of one of its goals (strategic initiatives), which is the “promotion/protection of Cordillera/Northern Luzon Heritage, Culture and the Arts."
