Carnegie: At International Gathering, Grantees Focus on Regional Science Issues in the Developing World

Lack of mobility, inadequate equipment and human resources, brain drain: these are some of the many challenges faced by scientists in developing countries, and were among the many topics of discussion during the International Centre for Theoretical Physics’ meeting on “Science and Development for a Changing World” held this week in Trieste, Italy.

The meeting’s theme, "Science within a Changing Geopolitical Framework", brought together ministers, policy makers and high-level scientists from four world regions--Africa, Asia, Eastern Europe and the Balkans, and Latin America and the Caribbean--to showcase regional success stories as well as challenges regarding science and mathematics education in developing countries.  Article here.
