For the 24th Annual Scientific Meeting (ASM) held on July 10-11, 2002, at The Manila Hotel, the National Academy of Science and Technology Philippines (NAST PHL) adopted the theme “Enhancing Philippine Science and Technology through ICT.” This meeting emphasized the transformative potential of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in breaking barriers to knowledge, participation, and economic opportunity, as highlighted by the United Nations Human Development Report 2001. Organized by the Engineering Sciences and Technology Division, discussions centered on ICT’s role in science, education, and global competitiveness, alongside its impacts on biotechnology and societal development. Through key lectures and technical papers, the ASM sought to provide science-based insights to policymakers and stakeholders, fostering national progress and improved welfare in the network age.
