VI. 1.1. 5 Network of Postgraduate Training and Research Courses 



$163,950 2 - a/b 



40 courses of 6 months duration in developing countries in a 

 variety of basic fields. 



Comment on VI. 1.1 ; These program activities in basic and applied 

 natural sciences have proven of considerable value for strengthening 

 infrastructures and solving specific research problems in developing 

 countries. American scientists have been active in all of these 

 activities and have played leading roles particularly in the biology 

 and chemistry projects. Assuming that funds might be available from 

 other parts of the overall U.S. contribution to UNESCO programs, pri- 

 ority attention should be given to possibilities for augmenting the 

 following UNESCO- sponsored activities through support to the relevant 

 organizations: 



International Organization for Chemistry 



for Development (lOCD) $200,000 



International Cell Research Organization (ICRO) 100,000 



International Brain Research Organization (IBRO) 100,000 



International Center for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) 100,000 



Johns Hopkins School of Hygiene and Public Health 100,000 



ICSU, International Biosciences Networks (IBNs) 100,000 



SUBTOTAL $700,000/yr. 



VI. 1.2 University and Postgraduate Training with Special Efforts 

 Aimed at Inceasing the Participation of Women 



$136,450 2 - a/b 



Curricula for physics and chemistry, particularly in Arab 

 states and Africa, familiarizing 80 university teachers with 

 laboratory equipment, training of 50 laboratory technicians 

 (Asia) ; pilot projects, special training courses in Africa, 

 Asia and Pacific, biological sciences in Arab states, mathe- 

 matics curricula in Africa; 3 demonstration workshops, 

 services of consultants in cooperation with Centre for S&T 

 Education in India, and Ljubljana International Center for 

 Chemistry Studies; grants to attend international symposium 

 on chemistry education in Japan, union science education 

 activities. 



Comment on VI. 1.2 : Specific U.S. support for university curricula 

 development should be included under VI. 1.1, above. This area of work 

 is linked to UNESCO major program area V.2 on SiT education, a key area 

 of activity.
