Assesses the concept and organization of creating an international indus- 

 trialization institute to perform research on new approaches to international 

 industrialization that would benefit developing countries. "The consensus 

 of those interviewed wa? that an institute as envisioned by the panel could 

 contribute invaluably to the more orderly and harmonious industrial devel- 

 opment" of both developing and developed worlds.

The authors elaborate on the following themes: ". . . insufficient thought 

 and effort is being given to creating and maintaining indigenous scientific 

 activity in the less-developed countries. The actions of the countries concerned 

 are uncoordinated, and are often based on very poor grasp of the real issues. 

 The world scientific community is negligent of the plight of this small fraction 

 of its members. The international agencies lack the resource^., and the big 

 aid programs, such as those of the U.S. government, lack the understanding, 

 to act effectively. A highly significant fraction of general social and economic 

 development, with enormous long-term leverage, is being left at the mercy 

 of a variety of haphazard forces — political whim, crude economic theory, 

 intellectual fashion, administrative convenience." 



Concluding observations address the need for additional study on inter- 

 action patterns and closer communications links between scientists of the 

 developed and developing nations.

 of development, training for development, the roles of regional institutes in 

 development and training for development, development of a European 

 Association of Development Research and Training Institutes, a projected 

 association of Arab Development Research and Training Institutes, exchanges 

 of experiences on development training and research programmes and descrip-
