UK science society network to go global - SciDev.Net: "The Learned Societies for Development (LSfD) network was launched last month (15 October) under the auspices of the UK National Commission for UNESCO (UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization).
Many scientific societies — networks of researchers in a specific field — carry out capacity building work such as mentoring and exchange schemes, providing equipment and advice, running training courses and providing free access to publications.
At a meeting in June last year, UK societies agreed that their strength lay in large networks, which could nurture researchers in developing countries at a grassroots level and connect them directly to global networks they may have been isolated from before."
