assessment evaluation;
• Test against viability (STEEP) indicators – social acceptability, technical feasibility, economic viability,
environmental soundness and political acceptability;
• Technology promotion through publicity and other appropriate communication strategies such as
technology forum and other fora;
• Publication in refereed R&D journals, R&D highlights, etc.;
• Tapping of conduits or channels for technology transfer and commercialization like the University Business
Affairs Office (UBAO) as venue for:
