The Los Banos Science Community Foundation Inc, or LBSCFI was established in 1984 by ten public and private development institutions holding office at the town of Los Banos, Laguna, Philippines. It has since grown into an organization of 23 member agencies. On March 23, 2001, the LBSC was duly registered at the Securities and Exchange Commission as the Los Banos Science Community Foundation, Inc. (LBSCFI), as a non-stock, non-profit foundation.

At present, the LBSCFI continues to facilitate transfer and adoption of S&T research outputs and services generated by its member agencies to cients and users through various projects.

Mission and Vision

The LBSCFI is a unique organization in the Philippines consisting of public and private development institutions with diverse, yet complimentary strengths in the sciences, education, business, and social services.

The LBSCFI is strongly committed to effectively collaborate and cooperate towards the creation of a model community by addressing priority needs of the Los Banos community and similar environs through creativity and innovation.

LBSCFI’s vision is to build a prosperous, environmentally conscious, scientifically oriented, humane, and united community.
