Welcome to PANS
The Academy of Sciences for the Developing World and the Library of Alexandria, Egypt, are collaborating to promote science and technology in the African continent.
The Academy of Sciences for the Developing World (TWAS)
http://twas.ictp.it/ was founded with a mandate to mobilize and strengthen the scientific community in Africa. The Library of Alexandria
www.bibalex.org is a local institution with regional and global agendas in science communications. The two institutions join hands to act upon the Inter Academy Council Report of 2004 “
Inventing a better future”, where it clearly states that “
enhancing science and technology capacity in developing nations is truly a necessity and not a luxury”.
There is a growing international consensus that a collective commitment to innovation is essential to secure a nation’s future.
