The Research Center for Social Sciences and Education (RCSSED) gathers together research associates by research interest groups (RIGs) namely, economics, business and finance studies; language and literacy studies; education and leadership studies; studies in psychology, and contemporary social issues researches (covering studies on inter-generational relations; social health; migration, politics and policies; and environmental vulnerability, security, and sustainability). Emerging working groups (WGs) in the fields of linguistic studies and peace and conflict studies are also currently supported by the center. Among the Center’s projects focus on sustainable ecosystems and climate change, inclusive education, relevant Catholic church-related matters (CBCP), and finance soundness and literacy (CIMA).
Research projects of the Center have received support from foreign and Philippine partners in AY 2020-2021. These include:
Foreign: Fondazione Gravissimum Educationis, Porticus, Global Alliance on Incinerator Alternatives (GAIA), University of East Anglia (United Kingdom), and Brown University (United States of America)
Local: Commission on Higher Education, Department of Science and Technology – Philippine Council for Health Research and Development (DOST-PCHRD), National Commission for Culture and the Arts, Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth), Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA)
The Center and its researchers also collaborate with foreign and Philippine universities in research projects and capacity-building activities.
The Center’s researchers also strive to influence public policy, in particular policies and programs of national government agencies (e.g. environment, cultural heritage, tourism, labor and employment) and local government units (provincial, city, municipal,, barangay). This is not to mention that some studies of the Center also help some players in the private or business sector, as well as civil society organizations. Even community-based organizations (e.g. urban poor, rural women) have benefitted from some action research projects run by the Center.

The UST Research Center on Social Sciences and Education (RCSSEd) was created in January 2017, from the previously merged Research Center on Culture, Education, and Social Issues (RCCESI).

Prof. Belinda D.V. de Castro, PhD is the inaugural Director of the RCSSEd.
The University of Santo Tomas is one of the leading private research universities in the Philippines and is consistently ranked among the top 1000 universities in the whole world.
