The National DOST Scholars’ Summit (NDSS) is an annual nationwide event by UP DOST Scholars’ Association. It started as the DOST Scholars’ Summit in 2008 catering to DOST Scholars in the Greater Manila Area.
Through the unceasing support and encouragement this summit has received for the past years, the event has evolved from catering a region-wide audience of intellectual students to a nationwide event that is geared towards career-orientedness and serving the nation through science and technology.
For the first time in 2016, it was rebranded as the National DOST Scholars’ Summit (NDSS), gathering the country’s top DOST scholars and providing them an avenue for learning and countless opportunities from career professionals, companies, scientists, engineers, and experts.
