The Department of Science and Technology is working with science agencies from Japan and the United Kingdom on collaborative research initiatives that could come up with technology in support of sustainable coastal communities. The DOST is playing a lead role in crafting a framework for a multi-funder cooperation among the Philippines, Japan and the UK. Under the initiative, the Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST), the UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) and the DOST convened researchers and stakeholders from Southeast Asian countries to discuss recent studies on coastal communities and brainstorm for possible research collaboration.
