The International Centre for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology makes this webpage available with descriptions and links to a large number of initiatives that make scientific journals available free to researchers in developing nations.

FAST is a global organization established by alumni of the Fulbright Exchange Program and other members of the science and technology community. FAST seeks to expand knowledge and international understanding by linking leaders in science, business, government and academia. FAST seeks to use the global Fulbright network to enhance innovation and advance education, research and policy..

The guidebook series aim at promoting safe and effective utilization of digital media for all levels of users including youth, their parents and teachers who are new to the digital media.

There is a growing recognition that digital media education is particularly important in the Information Age, as we increasingly hear about cybercrimes, online privacy risks, and harmful contents on the Internet.

It is no longer enough to develop ICT skills in technical terms. We also need to conside more...

'To learn from each others’ experiences and to provide input for the development of a national policy, telemedicine practitioners and other stakeholders from around Tanzania gathered for their second telemedicine platform meeting.'

'This week representatives from African countries will gather in Johannesburg, South Africa, for Agricultural Science Week. Many will be asking how their governments can respond to the pressure from large parts of their agricultural communities to commercialise genetically modified (GM) crops on one side, and the large sectors of their voting publics against GM on the other.'

'A recent report is a welcome analysis of modern agriculture's future, but it fails to adequately recognise the role of science and technology.'

This website describes the efforts on the International Agricultural Research Centers and their coordinating body to preserve biodiversity, especially the genetic diversity of important crop species. Eleven Centers together maintain over 650,000 samples of crop, forage and agroforestry genetic resources in the public domain. The website describes these activities.

Lead: 'Brazil will launch a satellite in 2011 to monitor deforestation and urban expansion around the world, it has been announced.' The article continues: 'Amazônia-1 will carry a UK-made high resolution camera. The United Kingdom–Brazil collaboration was announced last week (14 July) at the 60th Annual Meeting of the Brazilian Society for Progress in Science. It is part of the continuing UK–Brazil Partnership in Science and Innovation, and stems from discussions between governments and re more...

Increased agricultural productivity is a major stepping stone on the path out of poverty, but farmers in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia face tremendous challenges improving production.

The National Research Council report Emerging Technologies to Benefit Farmers in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia (2008) identifies 60 emerging innovations in science and technology that have the potential to improve agricultural productivity in these two regions. Eighteen are recommended for immediate deve more...

Aimed at ICT/knowledge economy researchers, the paper presents a series of 'lenses' - i.e. analytical frameworks – through which to investigate ICT-based enterprises in developing countries. The frameworks move from basic classification models to those that can analyse competitive strategy, impact, context and the enterprise lifecycle. In each case, the paper provides an explanation of basic concepts, and a sense of what research using the particular framework would offer. A linked educators more...
