The year 2020, despite the challenges brought by natural and health hazards on a global scale, proved to be a defining moment for the Department of Science and Technology (DOST).

In fact, the DOST, for its part, recalibrated some of its research and development (R&D) programs to give way to more pressing concerns in the country’s fight against COVID-19while continuing other activities, true to its mandate, to address other socio-economic concerns using science, technology, and innovation (STI).
