DOST enriches the skills of its communications staff

COMMUNICATING science is a challenge, and the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) faces this challenge head on by putting into place programs that enrich the skills and knowledge of its communication staff.

To put the program up and running, DOST and its partners inked a memorandum of agreement (MOA) for the implementation of the Master of Science in Development Communication program for DOST communication staff. Program partners who signed the MOA include DOST’s Science Education Institute represented by Director Dr. Josette Biyo, DOST’s Science and Technology Information Institute (STII) Director Richard Burgos, and University of the Philippines Los Baños (UPLB) represented by Campus Chancellor Dr. Fernando Sanchez, Jr.

To the incoming scholars, DOSTSecretary Prof. Fortunato de La Peña said, “Our work at the Department must be communicated to the public to earn greater support.”
