On its 4th anniversary, the Philippine Council for Industry, Energy and Emerging Technology Research and Development (PCIEERD) encourages investors, stakeholders, and every Juan and Juana to invest in R&D outputs.  A forum entitled “Juana Invest? Reaping the Returns from R&D” which will feature selected presentations on starting a business, technology entrepreneur stories success stories and investment financing, and a portfolio of investment opportunities from its R&D projects will be conducted on the 27th of June, at the Edsa Shangrila Hotel, Ortigas Center

PCIEERD invited Resource Persons who will pave the way to investments based on their experiences. The guest of honor, Senator Cynthia Villar, is an accomplished entrepreneur who has also built livelihood opportunities for her constituents. She is also the Vice-Chair of the Senate Committee on Science and Technology. To further enlighten everyone on the importance of investing in science and technology, Dr. Gonzalo C. Serafica, a DOST Balik Scientist, will be the guest speaker for the event. Dr. Serafica is an expert on Biocellulose technology and is currently working with a number of DOST agencies and other universities.

The Department of Science and Technology’s (DOST) 3D mapping project called Disaster Risk Assessment, Exposure and Mitigation-Light Ranging and Detection Technology (DREAM-LiDAR) won the prestigious Geospatial World Excellence in Policy Implementation Award for 2014.

DOST Secretary Mario Go Montejo and DREAM program leader Dr. Enrico Paringit received the award on May 8 in Geneva, Switzerland.

A component of the Nationwide Operational Assessment for Hazards (Project NOAH), the DREAM-LiDAR addresses and helps mitigate the effects of flooding disasters in the country. This is doesby collecting precise geospatial data with ?LiDAR? to produce detailed topographic information that will enable the creation of more accurate flood inundation maps. Led by Dr. Eric Paringit, DREAM-LiDAR is by far the biggest single project that a research unit in the entire University of the Philippines system has ever undertaken.

Every Juan dreams of getting real-time weather data anytime, anywhere. The DOST therefore invested on a research project that will empower every citizen to make critical life-saving decisions using intelligent data from state-of-the art technology such as LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging). This is the Disaster Risk, Exposure and Assessment for Mitigation (DREAM) Program.

The DREAM introduced the use of LiDAR technology in generating high resolution 3D maps for hazard assessment and flood modelling. With the help of UK scientists, the DREAM team, led by Dr. Enrico C. Paringit of UP-National Engineering Center (UP-NEC), learned LiDAR technology, executed data acquisition, processing and validation in the last two years, and now transferring the results for use of LGUs and NGAs for infrastructure planning, resource assessment and post-disaster rehabilitation.
