About Us
The Yuchengco Center is a non-stock, non-profit think tank hosted by De La Salle University and sponsored by the Yuchengco Group of Companies, dedicated to the research and expansion of Globalization, Regional security and foreign relations, Governance and democratization, and Human security, particularly health and education.
It was inaugurated on August 29, 1994 as the ‘Yuchengco Institute of Philippines-Japan Relations.’ In 1997, the Board of Trustees renamed it ‘Yuchengco Center for East Asia’ to reflect the expansion of its concerns to Northeast and Southeast Asia. In 2002, the Board shortened its name to ‘Yuchengco Center’ to signify a shift towards a broader perspective that is more issue-oriented and policy-focused.
The Center's Institutional Goals Are:
- Enhancement of its leadership in policy advocacy through researches, conferences, publications, trainings and other activities that deal with social, economic and political issues in the country and the Asian region;
- Expansion of the thematic areas by taking a proactive stance in addressing timely and emerging policy concerns;
- Establishment of interactive connections with national and international agencies that can strengthen the Center’s role as a think tank for information dissemination and utilization; and
- Compilation and consolidation of research reports, distillation and dissemination of the policy implications of the Center’s researches and publications to delineate its contribution to knowledge, policy and program development.
