Science and Technology Secretary Estrella Alabastro will lead the science community in the weeklong event, which for this year has a wider focus on scientific meetings, policy fora and the annual S&T fair.
The scientific meetings are divided into three clusters: agriculture, forestry, natural resources and fishery sector; health and basic R&D researches, and industry, energy and advanced science.
Meanwhile, topics for the policy fora run along the government’s priority programs such as a national policy on genetically modified organisms and intellectual property rights.
The S&T exhibits will feature DOST accomplishments, activities, products and services available to the public.
Parallel activities in DOST’s regional offices will be coordinated by Region 3 director Conrado Oliveros.
