Aiming to Promote STI Policy in Philippines KevinGo.jpg
There is so much that society may gain from a properly built STI environment. However, one reality that many developing countries face is that STI, at times, may take a backseat to other development or industrial policies. Still, many recognize and realize the indispensable impacts that STI policies have on the economy, environment, poverty, and many other SDGs. To help the community of STI advocates and practitioners grow, I am taking what I have learned from my time in GRIPS to the Philippines. I know the STI culture cannot be built by simply applying my lessons in the public arena. Therefore I started to teach and stimulate the minds of students from the Ateneo de Manila University as a faculty in its Development Studies Program. Nonetheless, my work for STI in the Philippines does not end there. I am continuing to share my learnings, especially from my dissertation, with concerned government offices and sectors in the hope that I may contribute to the development of my country.
