Criteria for International Programs 

 In all cooperative International scientific endeavors there 

 are certain fundamental criteria that should be satisfied: 



o The scientific goals must be highly important to all 



partners in the enterprise. 

 The partners should have comparable scientific 



competence and matching resources, 

 o The context should reflect universal intellectual 



values or global societal concerns, 

 o There should be an international institutional 



framework into which the program can be fit so as to 



assure effective planning, execution and management of 



data. 



The political context must be peaceful. 



All of the various programs discussed above meet these 

 criteria. 



1 greatly appreciate the opportunity to offer these views to 

 the Science Policy Task Force.
