DOST-Caraga

To promote the Caraga region’s timber industry through sustainable production, the DOST-Forest Products Research and Development Institute (DOST-FPRDI) partners with Caraga State University to establish a Regional Forest Products Innovation and Training Center.

Both parties formalized the partnership with a memorandum of agreement (MOA) signed in March this year. The groundbreaking ceremony of the center site took place on December 12, 2024, at the College of Forestry and Environmental Sciences (CoFES) Clonal Nursery.

CSU, in partnership with the National Research Council of the Philippines (NRCP) and Department of Science and Technology (DOST), held a hybrid training on "Policy Brief Development and Dissemination of Research to the Community" on January 10-12, 2023. An actual presentation of one of the workshop outputs was done at LGU Jabonga, Agusan Del Norte on January 13, 2023.
