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).

The Science Department stepped up amidst the pandemic and its different initiatives have never been much sought after in the larger scale of things. 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).
