Short-term goals

• To collaborate with BSP on joint sessions at conferences

  • Recent 62nd PES was a successful first step.

• To lay the foundations for name recall

  • Invited some BSP personnel to Dr. Tullao’s event celebrating his research

• To immediately move past any misunderstanding that may be disrupting the relationship between BSP and DLSU

  • Our meeting today is good progress in this direction.

Medium-term goals

• To deepen collaboration on joint sessions at conferences, seminars, and workshops

  • To give feedback to papers written by BSP staff (free reading!)
  • Can this be the start of writing papers together?

• To start identifying high-functioning teams by trial and error

  • DLSU personnel limited ultimately by the heavy teaching load and competing consultancy interests
