The Chemical Sensors for Mine Site Monitoring Program demonstrated its capabilities and operation of its fully tested and field-deployable prototype sensor system during its program showcase on 15 January 2016 at the Ateneo De Manila University. The Program is a two-year program, funded and monitored by DOST-PCIEERD, which aims to develop local sensor tools that will allow real-time monitoring of the status of the environment in the mine site area. The Program has developed the following senso

1) A Multi-Elemental Analysis of Soils Samples using Lasers implemented by the Institute of Chemistry, University of the Philippines-Diliman;
2) An Optical Sensor for Determination of Copper and Zinc in Ambient Water also by the Institute of Chemistry, University of the Philippines-Diliman;
3) A Mercury Sensor for Air Monitoring by the Department of Chemistry, University of Santo Tomas;
4) A Lateral Flow Strip Biosensor for Mercury (II) Detection, an Automated Water Quality Monitoring and Water Sampler for Test Strips and a Mobile Phone Control Unit by the various departments of the School of Science and Engineering of the Ateneo De Manila University; and
5) A Cloud-based Data Integration & Visualization of Sensor Output by the Department of Information Systems and Computer Science of the Ateneo De Manila University.

Dr. Amelia P. Guevara, DOST Undersecretary for Research and Development and Dr. Carlos Primo C. David, DOST-PCIEERD Executive Director were present in the said showcase to show their support to the program’s initiatives.

The Department of Science and Technology, as one of the partners in the recently held SlingshotMNL 2015, conducted a pitching event featuring DOST supported researchers and start up teams who pitched their ideas to a group of angel investors, founders and fellow entrepreneurs last July 6, 2015 at the Philippine International Convention Center (PICC), Pasay City. 

Tagged as DOST Tech Push 2015: Innovations for Change, DOST’s pitching event was organized by the Philippine Council for Industry, Energy and Emerging Technology Research and Development in collaboration with 1000 Angels’ Founder and COO, Ms. Nicole Paterno, and Dr. Luis Sison of UP Enterprise. It is a segment of the SlingshotMNL, the official start up event for APEC Philippines 2015. Entrepreneurs, investors, executives, policy makers, and people from the academe and the media attended the said event.

The Department of Science and Technology (DOST) features world-class Pinoy technologies and innovations during its annual National Science and Technology Week (NSTW) this coming July 24-28, 2015 at the SMX Convention Center, SM Mall of Asia, Pasay City.

Dubbed “Philippines: A Science Nation Innovating for Global Competitiveness”, the weeklong event will engage the public in interactive and exciting exhibits, and lively forums and discussions featuring the different DOST projects and programs that are aimed at enhancing every Filipino’s life through science, technology, and innovation.

The 2015 NSTW will then again zero in on the Eight DOST Outcomes which all focus on strengthening the country’s industries, SMEs, human resource capabilities, e-governance, and disaster preparedness.

In its resolve to recognize the completed research works of Filipino scientists, researchers and engineers in the industry, energy, emerging technology and special concerns like climate change adaptation, disaster risk reduction and management and environment, the Philippine Council for Industry, Energy and Emerging Technology Research and Development institutionalized its Search for Outstanding R&D. The search was announced last year during the council’s anniversary celebration in June. To encourage researchers to present their research works, PCIEERD offered a prize of P500,000 for each category, and “winner–take-all” scheme to emphasize the objective of awarding outstanding research.

A total of 45 entries were received for the four categories which were narrowed down to 3-5 finalists per category during the research work presentations which were conducted from March to June 2015.
