MANILA — The Department of Science and Technology (DOST) is inviting everyone to join the celebration of the National Science & Technology Week (NSTW) from July 17 to 21 at the World Trade Center in Pasay City.
The National S&T Week is being observed annually every July. The DOST regional offices also prepare various activities and celebrate the Regional S&T Week on different dates.
The NSTW serves as an avenue for DOST and its attached agencies to showcase to the public the achievements in the field of S&T, its impact on the people, livelihood and health, among others.
For this year, the NSTW carries the theme “Science for the People: Enabling Technologies for Sustainable Development”. Exhibits, fora, and film showing were prepared and are open to the public from July 17 (12 p.m. to 6 p.m.) and July 18-21 (9 a.m. to 6 p.m.).
