[CivicAccess-discuss] Digital knowledge resources and infrastructure in developing countries

[Tracey P. Lauriault]

Digital knowledge resources and infrastructure in developing countries

The primary goal of this programme is to engage IAP and its Members in
strengthening their own scientific and technical (S&T) capacity as well as
in developing countries and transitional economies by enhancing access to
and use of digital knowledge and the related infrastructure. More
specifically, it will promote the goal established in IAP's Strategic Plan
to enhance the quantity and quality of information on issues of science and
society that is being exchanged among member academies, thereby building the
policy advisory capacity of individual academies. The programme also will
build directly upon the activities and results of the 2004-2007 Initiative
on Access to Scientific Information in Developing Countries. The two major
areas of focus are:

*- access to and use of digital S&T data and information, and *
*- access to and use of digital networks and infrastructure for research and
education.*
