Most stories on research and development (R&D) projects undertaken in the Philippines start well. Most don’t end well.
 
Take for instance the story of a promising scientist who worked in a government research facility and developed an eco-friendly and organically grown bacteria-based fertilizer.
 
It was considered a major breakthrough in agriculture and pest control because it had the potential to practically eliminate the need for chemical pesticides that local farmers have grown dependent to. This unique fertilizer is simple, cheap, and easily commerciable.
 
The scientist however never even considered earning profit from her creation, fearing it would be pirated if she introduces it to the market. But because of the “publish or perish” culture in her profession, she had to report her findings in peer-reviewed journals.

The 2009 Asia Pacific Regional Internet Conference on Operational Technologies or APRICOT will be held from February 18 to 27, 2009 at the Sofitel Philippine Plaza Manila, Philippines. This year's host is none other than the Advanced Science and Technology Institute (ASTI) of the Department of Science and Technology (DOST), which is closely working along side with the Asia Pacific Internet Association (APIA), a non-profit association that handles APRICOT.

 

APRICOT is Asia Pacific's premier annual educational conference that provides a neutral forum to advance the skills and understanding necessary to handle a robust Internet infrastructure in the region. It provides a unique opportunity for the region's Internet industry to converge and discuss today's Internet operational issues that affect all of us.

It has established itself as Asia Pacific's premier regional Internet Summit where related organizations come together to meet and host their annual general meetings and other special events.
