Report on Opportunities, Challenges and Good Practices in Report on Opportunities, Challenges and Good Practices in International Research Cooperation between Developed and International Research Cooperation between Developed and Developing Countries Developing Countries

describes issues and options that deserve the attention of scientists and administrators in industrialized countries and in developing countries, as they seek to design, initiate and manage collaborative research programs and projects that include both scientific and development goals.


Good practices adopted by SATREPS

• Make use of ICT ICT

• Prepare a bilateral / multilateral agreement with the relevant body in the DC

• Allow for a grace periodgrace period between the project approval and its actual launch

• Support and encourage researchers to undertake public outreach activitiespublic outreach activities

• Social networking service, “Friends of SATREPS”

• “Memorandum of Understanding” between partner institutions

• One year of tentative contract to carry out FS of the project

• Photo exhibitions, public seminars, workshops etc.e.g. Joint Workshop in Ghana

– 400 attendees– Wide and strong media coverage,

including press release

Uniting ODA/Diplomacy with S&T Funding. Grab & Go research will eventually face impediment.

Long term, Win-win arrangement, DC government involvement are the key for inclusive program

More Stakeholder, other than researcher, involvement needed for the Baton Passing

FoS, Social Network Service, created to include more stakeholders

Empowerment of the younger generation, in both Japan and abroad, is expected to bring about new social innovation
