The Regional Science, Technology, and Innovation Week (RSTW) 2024 is an annual event that solidifies the Department of Science and Technology’s (DOST) drive for the development of science and technology across Western Visayas.
In line with this, Dr. Brian Gil S. Sarinas, 2/M Karl Danielle H. Sira, and 2/M Abcede A. Bangalisan II from John B. Lacson Foundation University (Arevalo), Inc. went to the University of Antique, August 22-24.
The university’s participation in the said event is due to the membership of JBLFMU-A in the DOST – Western Visayas Council for Industry, Energy, and Emerging Technology Research and Development (WVCIEERD).
This year’s theme, “Siyensya, Teknolohiya at Inobasyon: Kabalikat sa Matatag, Maginhawa at Panatag na Kinabukasan,” celebrates the inventions and innovations in Western Visayas in the field of academy and industry.
The three-day activity featured the launch of innovation hubs (iHub), DOST facilities, and Techno tour.
“This will be a stepping stone for JBLFMU (Arevalo), Inc. to venture on invention and innovation in the maritime field,” Dr. Sarinas stated.
The Regional Science, Technology, and Innovation Week 2024 is a testament to DOST’s unwavering commitment to promoting science, technology and innovation in the region.
