For the 32nd Annual Scientific Meeting (ASM) held on 14-15 July 2010 and the 2010 Regional Scientific Meetings (RSM), the National Academy of Science and Technology Philippines (NAST PHL) chose the theme “MDGs and Beyond: Are We Making Progress?” The meeting focused on reviewing the country’s progress toward the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) across various sectors, with the Academy’s members leading discussions on seven of the eight MDGs. Through roundtable discussions and plenary presentations, experts addressed key issues such as poverty, education, gender equality, health, environmental sustainability, and more. These discussions culminated in a set of policy recommendations and insights on how the Philippines can continue striving towards these crucial goals.
