Abstract
In today’s globalizing economies, both developed and developing countries acknowledge the importance of investing in education and manpower resources to propel economic growth. The country’s state of industrialization and economic growth entails a corollary demand for highly skilled manpower, including scientists and researchers, to bring about the desired progress.
In line with the need to develop human resources in science and technology, the Department of Science and Technology (DOST), particularly through the Philippine Council for Industry and Energy Research and Development (PCIERD), has been stimulating and supporting research activities in identified priority areas. Linkages among the academe, industry, and government agencies have been strengthened to effectively carry out S&T programs and projects.
