摘要

In pursuance of the decisions taken in various Conferences of the Heads of State or Government of the Non-aligned Countries, the Centre for Science and Technology of the Non-aligned and Other Developing Countries (NAM S&T Centre) was established in New Delhi, India in 1989 as an Inter-governmental Organisation for the promotion of an intensive cooperation in the fields of Science and Technology for collective self-reliance among non-aligned and other developing countries. So far, 47 NAM countries from various regions—represented by their Government departments, ministries or agencies dealing with Science & Technology have joined the Centre as its members. In order to meet its objectives, the NAM S&T Centre has been implementing a wide range of activities on Science, Technology and Innovation (STI) including organisation of international workshops, and training programmes/courses on various topics; award of fellowships to scientists and researchers for their affiliation with Centres of Excellence in different countries; implementation of multilateral collaborative projects; publication of books, monographs, handbooks and state-of-the-art reports; etc. The NAM S&T Centre has been working as a facilitator in STI-driven economic development in the developing countries by encouraging their governments to nurture the S&T institutions and formulating policy guidelines for the integration of science and technology into national development plans. With the successful execution of a large number of programmes in diverse areas of STI, the Centre has been able to make significant contributions in helping the developing countries in STI Policy formulation and STI Diplomacy; and capacity building of the countries of the Global South in the realization of the Millennium and Sustainable Development Goals.
