Science, technology, and innovation (STI) are recognized as crucial but insufficient elements in addressing societal challenges. DOST Secretary Fortunato T. de la Pe\u00f1a entrusted NAST PHL with developing a 30-year STI Foresight, known as PAGTANAW 2050, the first Philippine-focused plan anticipating factors influencing the country&#8217;s development. Aligned with the vision of a &#8220;Prosperous, Archipelagic, Maritime Nation,&#8221; PAGTANAW 2050 advocates for a globally competitive, knowledge-based, inclusive, and sustainable Philippine blue and circular economy. Drawing from constitutional aspirations, national plans, and global goals, the initiative aims to cultivate an educated, healthy, and productive citizenry. NAST PHL chose PAGTANAW 2050 as the central theme for its scientific meetings to raise awareness in the STI community and present recommendations for its implementation to relevant government agencies during the 44th ASM.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>FRONT MATTER<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/transactions.nast.ph\/?page_id=115\">Copyright and other Journal Information<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__list wp-block-latest-posts\"><li><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/transactions.nast.ph\/?p=2393\">Editorial Staff (2022)<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__list wp-block-latest-posts\"><li><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/transactions.nast.ph\/?p=2473\">Board of Editors (2022)<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__list wp-block-latest-posts\"><li><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/transactions.nast.ph\/?p=2502\">Executive Council, NAST PHL (2022)<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/transactions.nast.ph\/?page_id=115\">About the TRANSACTIONS NAST PHL<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/transactions.nast.ph\/?page_id=123\">About the National Academy of Science and Technology PHL<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"table-of-contents\">Table of Contents<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"conference-proceedings\">Conference Proceedings<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>The theme of the conference &#8220;PAGTANAW 2050: Agham Tungo sa Mabuting Kinabukasan (Foresight 2050: Science for a Sustainable Future)&#8221; was chosen by NAST PHL for its 44th ASM and for the 2022 Regional Scientific Meetings (RSM) in order to promote awareness among the STI community of futures thinking and a sustainable blue and circular economy for the Philippines.
