417th Conference of the Science Council of Asia

MESSAGESI would like to extend my warm greetings to the participants of the 17 th Science Council of
Asia (SCA) Conference, jointly organized by the National Research Council of the Philippines(NRCP) and the Science Council of Japan (SCJ).
This year’s theme, “Science, Technology, and Innovation for Inclusive Development” is timely
given the ASEAN Vision 2020 wherein leaders are aiming for a community of nations withshared stability and prosperity. One way to achieve this is by recognizing the vital role ofscience, technology, and innovation in achieving inclusive growth - a concept of accelerated
economic growth that is responsive to the nations’ rapid population growth, geographicaldifferences, cultural diversity, and social complexity. The vision of the Philippine national
leadership of reducing inequality, creating new opportunities, and expanding the potential
for growth supports this concept.
This conference involves a conglomeration of great scientific minds from countries
across Asia and the world. It is expected to set in motion the exchange of bright ideas andinnovative approaches in redesigning research to achieve effectual inclusive growth - best
exemplified in six (6) plenary paper presentations of foreign and Filipino scientists, alongwith over 140 technical papers which will be presented during the conference.
I welcome all delegations of researchers, scientists, technologists, and innovators to thisprestigious event. Let us take advantage of this opportunity to discuss ideas on improving
lives, reshaping economic growth, and revolutionizing practices in various science andtechnology fields.
Mabuhay!

17th Conference of the Science Council of Asia

It is a great privilege and an honor for me to greet you all on behalf of the Science Councilof Asia here in this Pasay City, Philippines. We are very grateful to Prof. Edgardo D. Gomez,
President, National Research Council of the Philippines for his kind invitation.
Our Assembly in this vibrant metropolis, with the scientists and decision makers of thePhilippines, aims to address a number of scientific themes. The theme of the conference“Science, Technology and Innovation (STI) for Inclusive Development” clearly states ourgoal to learn about the role of science, technology & innovation, the landscape of thePhilippines and expose the STI of this country to the aspects of the STI landscape in SCA
member countries. We have come here to learn. To learn how this country has managed todevelop the capacity to such a stable economy. Moreover, we are keen to understand how
the Philippines has managed the natural calamities and maintained the high rate economic
growth.

Science and Technology are tools for socioeconomic advancement. For science to blossom,
it needs to be nourished and supported. Development is required for every individual, toevery nation in all aspects and for development to happen, science and technology go handin hand. For any successful economy, particularly in today’s quest for knowledge based
economies, science, technology, and engineering are the basic requisites. If nations do
not implement science and technology, then the chances of getting themselves developed
become minimal and thus could be even rated as an undeveloped nation. Science andTechnology are associated in all means with modernity and it is an essential tool for rapid
development. It is known to all of us NRCP is committed to promote and support basic andproblem- oriented research, particularly the inter/multidisciplinary in the science as well as
in the humanities to identify and provide solutions to national issues and problems. It also
aims to develop value-adding technologies. These aims are almost common to the majorityof our member countries.
As such SCA has made a common platform for the scientists of member organizations towork shoulder to reach these common objectives.

The Science Council of Asia (SCA) is comparatively a young organization and is keen to
champion the cause of science for development especially through capacity building,knowledge sharing and promotion of international and regional cooperation.
I thank all the organizers including Prof. Edgardo D. Gomez, President, National ResearchCouncil of the Philippines for working hard to make the 17th Conference of the Science
Council of Asia a complete success.

It is a great pleasure to welcome you to the 17th Science Council of Asia (SCA) Conference,an annual event where renowned scientists and researchers from countries across Asia meetand share their wisdom and communicate their respective research experience across theregion.
This year’s theme “Science, Technology, and Innovation for Inclusive Development” is timely
and is very relevant as Asian Leaders in the recently concluded ASEAN summit declared
inclusive development as their mantra.
We hope, with this 3-day conference, we could come up with policy statements orrecommendations which may spell out how science, technology, and innovation be utilized
effectively and efficiently in realizing this Asian mantra – prosperity for all.

Several papers along the lines of biotechnology, eco-environment studies, gender integrationand mainstreaming in S&T innovations, human and animal health, re-engineering research,and risk reduction in natural disasters will be presented to give us the perspective of current
research initiatives of Asian scientists and researchers which may be useful in developing
new research frameworks beneficial to all of us – one region, ASIA.
We would not have had this 17th SCA today if it were not for the people who exerted somuch effort since we accepted hosting the conference. Thus, I would like to speciallyacknowledge the Officials and Members of the Science Council of Japan, the members of thevarious 17th SCA Conference committees composed of the members of the NRCP Governing
Board, and of course the members of the NRCP Secretariat for their behind-the-scenes
enabling efforts.
Congratulations!

17th Conference of the Science Council of Asia

It is my great honor to welcome you to 17th Conference of Science Council of Asia (SCA)
in the Philippines. I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to the National ResearchCouncil of the Philippines for their great efforts and support in hosting this conference.
Recently, the world is confronted with various global challenges, such as environmental
problems, health problems, large-scale natural disasters, and so on. We need to addressthese issues while raising economic productivity and prosperity in order to realize an
affluent society. It becomes desirable to solve the complicated issues which seem to becontrary to each other all at once.

In 2015, “Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030”, “Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs)”, and “Paris Agreement at COP21” are adopted by international
forums, such as the United Nations. It means that the importance of science and technology
further increases all over the world in order to achieve international goals for a wide
range of issues, such as the SDGs. Especially, endeavour beyond specific disciplines
and transdisciplinary activities with various stakeholders attract more attentions. In
this regard, Asia embraces very diverse regions, and issues that these regions are facedwith are also complicated and wide-ranging. Therefore, profound discussions on thesecomplicated problems in Asia will give us the knowledge to solve similar issues in the world,
accomplishing an inclusive society.
As the theme of this conference is “Science, Technology, and Innovation for Inclusive
Development”, this conference will address straightforwardly the issues the world is now
concerned about very much. This conference will have deep discussions with distinguishedscientists from Asia on how to apply science, technology, and innovation to develop an
inclusive society, including some introduction to the activities of Future Earth, which is an
important international scientific program. SCA’s advantage is to cover a larger member
region and various scientific fields in Asia. It is the important platform to tackle the issues
and make use of benefit of science and technology in the Asian society through the networkof Asia’s scientific community.
