- Philippines Science and Technology Advisory Council
-
- STAC (Science & Technology Advisory Council) composes of expatriate
- Filipino scientists, professionals and their colleagues and is
- organized by the Dept of Foreign Affairs, Republic of the Philippines.
- STAC-WG is a mailing list for the working group to prepare the project
- proposal for the establishment of STACnet. The working group will,
- among others things, :
- (a) develop STACnet objectives
- (b) propose a network structure
- (c) outline the status of email facilities and services in the
- Philippines
- (d) provide an initial list of cooperating partners and participants
- (e) identify key partners
- (f) make a proposal of selected activities, which may range from
- network support (installation of computer facilities for
- communication, access and use of existing facilities) to ideas on
- how to use STACnet to support existing development programs of the
- Philippines.
-
- Dr. Federico M Macaranas coordinates this programme which has a central
- focus is to use expatriate resources in key development programs of the
- country. STACs members thus monitor scientific and technological
- developments abroad, facilitate technology transfer and may perform
- consultancies or provide assistance to public and private sectors in
- the Philippines. Several STACs have been established abroad. The
- proposed STACnet would serve as the electronic arm of the STAC network.
- It will be a network of people who can communicate by email and its
- primary goal would be to fortify the existing organizational structure
- of STAC and its activities.
