1. The
Programme is now being conducted within the framework of follow-up
to the World Conference on Science held in Budapest, Hungary in
1999, organized jointly by UNESCO and the International Council
for Science (ICSU), with the collaboration of TWAS, at which the
importance of promoting scientific collaboration with developing
countries was underscored.
2. Under this Programme, prospective host institutions can invite
eminent experts in science and technology, to lecture and hold
discussions in their countries. Lecturers and hosting institutions
will be expected to provide comprehensive reports on completion
of the visits.
3. The travel (round-trip, economy fare) expenses, of lecturers
will be borne by the Programme, while host institutions in developing
countries will be expected to cover all local expenses, as well
as to make local arrangements. Under normal conditions, no more
than one lectureship per country per year will be approved. Experts
who are planning to visit a developing country for purposes other
than those relating to this Programme may be requested to give
lectures at no financial cost to the Programme. |
Application |
|
Institutions
in developing countries* wishing to invite a Lecturer under
this Programme are requested to give the name of persons who
might be invited to lecture. As the programme is striving towards
providing equal opportunities, nominations for women will be
particularly welcomed.
Remark *A limited number of Lectureships will be made available
to institutions in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union
which lack contacts with scientists from other parts of the
world.
