Purpose

1. The Third World Academy of Sciences (TWAS) with funds provided by the Italian Government (through the Direzione Generate per la Cooperazione allo Sviluppo) offers grants to institutions in Developing Countries to meet the cost of small items of spare parts for scientific equipments which cannot be obtained or manufactured locally.
2. The programme has been established in response to the current difficulty faced by several laboratories in the Third World to obtain badly-needed spares and replacement parts for scientific equipment which often interrupted their experimental research for long periods.
