SIG and UNDP to Develop Component of Global Science Corps (GSC)

SIG has received a grant from the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) to develop a component of the Global Science Corps (GSC) with special emphasis on émigré scientists and South-South collaboration. As part of this program, SIG and UNDP will host a workshop in Africa in early 2006 to generate interest, assess need, and begin to design the specifics of the program, including selection criteria for and responsibilities of host institutions and fellows.
