This initiative by the Creation Office(DFI-VRI) will enable us to record and showcase the work of creators of our PUCP community, promoting its wider dissemination.

At our University, research, innovation and creation are equally encouraged. Precisely within this last area, the Creation Office of the Research Promotion Office (DFI) of the Research Vice-president's Office (VRI), has been developing actions that seek to strengthen the creation ecosystem at PUCP.

One of these actions has to do with the generation, systematization and visibility of information linked to creation, which is key to the development of better promotion strategies.Along that same line, a project that seeks to develop the PUCP Creators Catalog has been implemented.

What are the benefits of the new PUCP Creators Catalog?

For both our University and our creators, this initiative will provide multiple advantages:

• It will offer up-to-date information on our production in the different fields of creation.
• Basic information about the creations will be made visible and accessible, both inside and outside PUCP, thus contributing to the dissemination of the works and their authors.
• It will allow the best planning and execution of strategies and actions of the DFI/VRI for the promotion of creation.
• It will contribute to the institutional positioning of PUCP as a university of creators.

Stages of the Project

The PUCP Creators Catalog is a mid-term project. The stages are as follows:

• Basic information on the last 5 years will be collected on the works developed by our creators, considering fields such as author(s), title, discipline, year of exhibition or publication, city, among others.
• The information will be systematized to generate an adequate and consistent database.
• Work will be done on the design of a friendly platform that gathers this information so that it is publicly accessible.
• The platform will be showcased and tested internally for continuous improvement,and the development of derivative items will be evaluated as downloadable documents.
• Ina subsequent phase, the catalog is projected to include or hyperlink other items and works such as those pertaining to the PUCP legacy.

Developing this catalog represents a considerable effort; as it involves collecting and systematizing data that may be unrecorded or outdated. For this project,collaboration will occur between different areas of our Research Vice-president's Office, including the Results and Impact Assessment Area of the Research Promotion Director's Office. We will also work in coordination with academic departments, schools,affiliated centers and institutes as well as other units related to the creation, the Library System and, of course, the PUCP creators.

How will the PUCP Creators Catalog promote the work of PUCP creators?
