10 July, CANBERRA – The Philippine Embassy in Canberra is pleased to announce that the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) is inviting Filipino experts in Australia to participate in its Balik Scientist Program (BSP) to help shape the future of science, technology, and innovation in the Philippines.

The BSP is one of DOST's flagship initiatives that encourages overseas-based Filipino experts, as well as foreign nationals of Filipino descent, to return to the Philippines on a short-, medium-, or long-term basis to share their knowledge, expertise, and experience. Through this program, participants can contribute to strengthening the country's research and development capabilities, fostering innovation, and addressing national development priorities.

The DOST invites interested professionals and experts across various fields to explore opportunities where their expertise can make a meaningful impact.
