The Association of Filipino Scientists in America (AFSA) is a community of Filipino scientists who seek to utilize their skills, resources, and expertise to serve our communities in the U.S. and the Philippines
Community Building
Develop a near-peer network of Filipino researchers across diverse fields and career stages
Amplify or organize conferences, seminars, and workshops to share research and best practices
Advocacy & Policy
Connect Filipino scientists to the political and economic struggles of scientists in the Philippines and the US
Advocate for science and technology development that benefits the Filipino people
Knowledge Exchange
Preserve and promote Filipino contributions to science and innovation
Facilitate sharing of scientific knowledge and expertise between members
While AFSA virtually gained momentum as a national organization, we are refocusing on local programming around New York City.
We are hoping to re-create the community we have fostered online and move it to in-person events that continue the mission of AFSA.
