Ateneo Cultural Laboratory (ACL) is an annual summer program offered by the Department of Sociology and Anthropology (DSA) of the Ateneo de Manila University (AdMU) for students interested in exploring Philippine cultural heritage. This involves a one week lecture on-campus in AdMU and three-week research and community oral presentation on a selected field of heritage. Due to security concerns, the ACL 2017's cultural site of study was transferred to Vigan and the First District of Ilocos Sur.
