SciDev.Net

A new independent website, SciDev.Net, will provide a forum for authoritative news, information and comment about how science and technology can help meet the needs of developing nations. The journals Nature and Science are providing free access to selected articles. Support and guidance is being given by the Third World Academy of Sciences, and funding is being provided by the UK Dept for Int’l Development, the Swedish Int’l Development Cooperation Agency and the Int’l Development Research Center in Canada. You can show your support by visiting the web site (www.scidev.net), registering your interest, and engaging in the debates.
