Department of Science and Technology The Department of Science and Technology (DOST) is the premiere science and technology body in the country. Providing central direction, leadership and coordination of all scientific and technological activities. Formulating policies, programs and projects to support national development. Vision for Science and Technology Overview By 2004, S&T shall have contributed significantly to the enhancement of national productivity and competitiveness, and to the solutions of pressing national problems. By 2010, the Philippines shall have carved niches and become a world-class knowledge provider and user in selected S&T areas; and shall have developed a vibrant Filipino S&T culture. By 2020, the Philippines shall have developed a wide range of globally competitive products and services which have high technology content.

Department of Science and Technology Strategies for S&T 1.Niching and Clustering: Priorities in S&T shall be set in accordance with certain niches on clusters of industries. Market niching shall become the basis for prioritization of S&T area thrusts. 2.Addressing Pressing National Problems: This cry out for S&T solutions. Areas have been identified where national problems exist and which implies that S&T should address them. These are poverty, poor health, rapid population growth, food, water, energy… 3. Developing S&T Human Resources 4.Providing Support to Small and Medium Enterprises 5.Accelerating Technology Transfer and Utilization 6.Building/Upgrading S&T Infrastructure 7.Strengthening Government-Industry Academe-Civil Society and International Linkages 8.Improving S&T Governance 9.Promoting/Popularizing S&T
