II. ¡SCIENCE ¡& ¡TECHNOLOGY ¡POLICY ¡

Key ¡Government ¡Agencies ¡ • Department of Science and Technology (DOST) – Central government agency for science and technology policy, programs and initiatives. – Headed by the DOST Secretary with Undersecretaries for • Research and Development • Science and Technology Services • Regional Operations • Commission on Higher Education (CHED) – Governing body covering both public and private higher (tertiary) educational institutions. Also implements large bi/ multilateral academic cooperation programs (e.g. Philippines-California Advanced Research Institutes, 5-year € 60 million program).

Harmonized ¡NaBonal ¡R&D ¡Agenda ¡ 2013-­‑2020 ¡ • Harmonizing S & T research and development to alleviate poverty, promote inclusive growth, mitigate disasters and adapt to climate change • National R & D agenda outcomes: – A better life for the Filipino through science, technology and innovation. – Globally competitive capacity for science, technology and innovation.

Persistent ¡and ¡Emerging ¡Problems ¡ • Worsening ¡traffic ¡and ¡ mobility ¡ – DOST ¡SoluBon: ¡ Sustainable ¡Mass ¡ Transport ¡Systems ¡ • Poor ¡sanitaBon ¡ – DOST ¡SoluBon: ¡Eco-­‑ sepBc ¡tank ¡ • Lack ¡of ¡potable ¡water ¡ – DOST ¡SoluBon: ¡ Ceramic ¡Water ¡Filter ¡

III. ¡OUTLOOK ¡AND ¡PROSPECTS ¡

Improved ¡S&T ¡research ¡climate ¡ • UP science policy and programs are generally aligned with government thrusts and priorities • DOST and UP have embarked on massive S&T infrastructure and human resource development • Dramatic increase in government S & T support – Establishment of the Engineering Research and Development for Technology (consortium headed by UP Diliman College of Engineering, € 60 million, 2007-2014) – Infrastructure development of the National Science Complex (UP Diliman College of Science, € 60 million, 2006-2014) • DOST is the biggest funding source of UP for science and technology projects. Most of the major S & T projects of DOST are implemented by UP units

UP ¡partners ¡with ¡DOST ¡in ¡Disaster ¡Management • Project NOAH (Nationwide Operational Assessment of Hazards) – geo-hazard maps, flood, storm surge early warning DREAM-LiDAR technology to map 18 major river basins • and many minor rivers for hazard/flood inundation forecasting ( € 32 M) – DREAM: Disaster Risk and Exposure Assessment and Mitigation – LiDAR: Lighting Detection and Ranging Tech for mapping • Cessna planes carry LiDAR equipment which generate high resolution 3D flood hazard maps to create flood forecasting models • NOAH and DREAM-LiDAR are led by UP’s geologists, engineers and marine scientists DREAM-LiDAR won the Geospatial World Excellence in Policy Implementation Award for 2014 in Geneva, Switzerland. The Director of Project NOAH Dwas awarded the 2015 Plinius Medal by the European Geosciences Society for accomplishments in the field of Natural Hazards.
