The Southern Luzon State University (SLSU), through the Innovation and Technology Support Services Office (ITSSO), officially launched its Creative Works Management Unit (CMWU), which aims to protect, manage, promote, and commercialize creative works.

The Unit can assist stakeholders, particularly students, faculty, researchers, artists, performers, writers, designers, filmmakers, digital content creators, and cultural advocates, in transforming their creative works into more purposeful and impactful outputs. CMWU accepts works such as literature, poetry, films, digital content, music, dance, theater, painting, photography, and crafts, among others.

CMWU is aligned with RA 11904, also known as the Philippine Creative Industries Development Act (PIDA), which requires the promotion and support of systems that strengthen the management, protection, development, and commercialization of creative output and intellectual property.

CMWU was formally introduced during the opening of the 2026 Science, Technology, and Innovation Week (STW) celebration on September 15.
