The BSP-UP Professorial Chair Lecture Series is an annual event hosted by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) in cooperation with the University of the Philippines (UP). UP Professorial Chairholders are invited to give a lecture on their written research output at the BSP.
The BSP established the BSP Sterling Chairs in 2006 and upgraded the existing chairs to BSP-UP Centennial Professorial Chairs in 2008 to continuously support the research, teaching, training and other programs of the University of the Philippines System. It is envisioned to help maintain a critical mass of productive research scholars in economics, statistics, business administration, finance, accounting, agriculture and other related fields at the UP system as part of the collaboration between the BSP and the academe.
