D3.00002: Scientists in Developing Countries: is there an effective way to support meaningful research? Invited Speaker: Zohra Ben Lakdar Nations in the developing countries are in front of barriers for progress, but without progress how can they exist and take place in the society of 21 eme century, knowledge society or new technology society? Research in science suppose competivness in a specific area of science and at the same time exchange of ideas between researchers. Researchers shoud be good scientists, be in a scientific environment, have financial support and have possibility to direct their research. Competivness has never been as hard as in knowledge society! About 90\% of human knowledge is produced during the last 50 years! African countries get independance in 1950-60.! At their independance they are in « mean age » and yet in the civilization of new technology! They never know industrial revolution. Thanks to pioneers scientits, in some developing countries, who begin from nothing, found solutions to built laboratories and conduct research activities.These solutions among which are principally -cooperation with laboratories from developed countries,- regular training of researchers and - good vision for choice of research subjet- offer an example of an effective way to support meaningful research.

D3.00004: Physics at Universities in Congo and Central Africa: Problems, Needs, hopes and solutions Invited Speaker: We present Teaching and Research Activities in Science, and that of Physics in particular, at Universities in Congo and in Central Africa. Although the number of Physics Students is increasing and that the Progress in Physics in a reality today also in some developing countries, problems that could promote this science remain in this geographic area of the world and are listed. Needs and hopes have to be exposed and Solutions are proposed to the international scientific community. [Preview Abstract] |
