The Department of Science and Technology (DOST) is encouraging researchers from the Visayas region to submit research proposals with a focus on aquatic and natural resources. The DOST held on Thursday, Feb. 8, 2024, the Visayas leg of the National Research and Development Call Conference, which called for researchers throughout the region to submit project proposals that could be funded by the government and contribute to the country’s goal of sustainable development. Given that the Visayas is an archipelago, studies focusing on aquatic resources are vital for sustainable development and addressing regional needs effectively, the DOST said.
