really much knowledgs importants
i hope work together for building strong society development
my visions for make progress in development countries in 21st century we must use the advanced technology and science for making rabbits change
there are much problems in the the develoment countries, i know well africa , zone arab , the using of clasical solutions not present strong slution and most of this countries rested in poverty zone until now , there are much notes about this zones,now with nano technology i think we can founding the solutions for illnesses,food,learning.environment ,........in 21st century every things change and the the thinks must change
I've put together this compilation of efforts, endeavours, opportunities already underway in the Caribbean, Africa, and Latin America. It's not comprehensive, but it's a rushed response to your newest blog post and allows for the possibility that some TINCer somewhere might benefit by meeting a few of the upcoming deadlines. There's still time to submit manuscripts for the Tunisia conference and applications for the Third World Academy of Sciences grants.
Towards tomorrow,
LaVerne

The Academy of Sciences for the Developing World (formerly Third World Academy of Sciences)
« is an autonomous international organization, based in Trieste, Italy, that promotes scientific excellence for sustainable development in the South. Its principal aim is to promote scientific capacity… It was founded in 1983 by a distinguished group of scientists from the South under the leadership of the late Nobel laureate Abdus Salam of Pakistan. It was officially launched by the secretary-general of the United Nations in 1985… The Academy's strength resides in the quality and diversity of its membership – internationally renowned scientists elected by their peers. TWAS represents the best of science in developing countries… »

« CariScience is a network of R&D and postgraduate programmes in the basic sciences in the member countries. Funded and advised by UNESCO, it is a sister organisation of the Caribbean Academy of Sciences. CariScience's next Annual Conference will meet in Suriname (Dutch Guyana) in October 2009.
It was officially launched at the Mona Campus of the University of the West Indies in Jamaica on June 1, 1999 by the then Vice-Chancellor, The Honorable Rex Nettleford. It is an organization administered by researchers for researchers and involves scientists in Barbados, Guadeloupe, Guyana, Jamaica, Suriname and Trinidad and Tobago. Membership is open to any established Research Centre or Unit in these countries. To date, with very limited funding CARISCIENCE has supported over 17 Workshops, Conferences/ Symposia, 28 academic visits and 7 Research and Development Projects. It has recently introduced a Caribbean Young Scientist Fellowship Programme, which enables Ph.D students to spend 3-6 months at centers of excellence in Brazil, Mexico, Cuba, India and the International Centre for Theoretical Physics in Trieste, Italy. CARISICENCE works closely with a number of organizations including UNESCO, OAS, TWAS, ICPT and academies of sciences. »
