DOST-PNRI gets highest number of int'l publications at 2024 DOST IPA Awards
Congratulations to the DOST-Philippine Nuclear Research Institute (DOST-PNRI) for once again garnering the highest number of international publications at the 2024 Intellectual Property Awards of the Department of Science and Technology!
A total of 26 DOST International Publication Awards (IPA) for PNRI were given by the National Academy of Science and Technology (NAST-PHL) on November 25, 2024 at the Vivere Hotel in Alabang, Muntinlupa City.
The awards are given annually to DOST scientists and researchers whose research outputs were published in internationally-recognized publications.
Since the DOST IPA's inception in 2013, PNRI has consistently proven its prolific research culture with a total of 306 such outputs. The Institute earned the distinction of having the highest number of IPA publications among DOST in 2014, 2016, and more recently from 2018 onwards.
