The Department of Science and Technology – Philippine Council for Industry, Energy and Emerging Technology Research and Development (DOST-PCIEERD) on Thursday bared to the public 11 completed data science and analytics projects aimed at helping national and local government units improve their services.
Funded through the Good Governance through Data Science and Decision Support System (c) program, the projects seek to provide appropriate systems and technologies to address specific needs of various National Government Agencies (NGAs), Local Government Units (LGUs), academic or research institutions, and micro-, small, medium enterprises (MSMEs).
“We are grateful for the opportunity to contribute to the development of our nation and will continue to strive for excellence in promoting good governance through innovative solutions,” DOST-PCIEERD Executive Director Enrico Paringit said.
Paringit expressed hope that this will inspire and motivate data science practitioners, learners, students, and graduates of the DOST-funded SPARTA and other academic or training institutions to join this transformative program.
