In celebration of its silver anniversary, the Department of Science and Technology’s Science and Technology Information Institute will launch the first Philippine science and technology search engine. Dubbed science.ph, the STII-developed search engine will formally go live  on February 24, 2012 at the Arts in the City located at Bonifacio Global City, Taguig City, Metro Manila.

science.ph is both a search engine and a comprehensive website that contains Philippine S&T information and databases. The site is geared to provide access to a great variety of science-related news, articles, blogs, photos, and videos, as well as to deliver accurate S&T information for Filipinos. This explains its tagline “Science for every Juan.”

 

 

Science and technology information to improve people’s lives: This is the vision of the Department of Science and Technology’s Science and Technology Information Institute (STII) on the occasion of its 25th year of service to the nation this year.

“We want to bring greater attention to DOST’s role as provider of solutions to pressing problems in the country today,” STII Director Raymund Liboro said. “And the way to do this is for STII to step up our mandated duty as the bearer of good news from the Department.”
