A one-day synthesis workshop was conducted toward the closing of the Technology Commercialization on Wheels (TCOW) project implemented by the College of Development Communication in partnership with the Department of Agriculture Bureau of Agricultural Research (DA-BAR).

The workshop, which was held on February 9, 2017 at the Drilon Hall of the SEARCA Building in UPLB campus, sought to gather information on good practices noted during the rollout of the project to pilot communities, identify rooms for improvement, and encourage stakeholders to reflect on lessons learned in order to enhance the implementation of similar activities in the future. Results of the workshop would serve as bases for identifying municipalities where the TCOW may be rolled out for its second phase.
