6.2 Recommendations

  • The S&T-proficient countries should cooperate with S&T-lagging countries in world-class research and education through regional networks.
  • Research nodes of the networks should be recognized centers of excellence in developing nations with a strong research base; this connection would help catalyze the strengthening of S&T capacities among their less-developed partners.
  • The networks should stimulate interdisciplinary research and establish links with the member countries' private sectors.
