SciDev.Net

SciDev.Net is a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to providing reliable and authoritative information about science and technology for the developing world. Through our website www.scidev.net we give policymakers, researchers, the media and civil society information and a platform to explore how science and technology can reduce poverty, improve health and raise standards of living around the world. We also build developing countries' capacity for communicating science and technology through our regional networks of committed individuals and organisations, practical guidance and specialist workshops. Our main office is based in Wallingford, Oxfordshire but we have a worldwide network of registered users, advisors, consultants and freelance journalists, predominantly from developing countries, who drive our activities and vision.
