[Irtalk] TWAS, the voice for science in the South | TWAS

[Hilton Gibson]

*TWAS is a global science academy based in Trieste, Italy, working to
advance science and engineering for sustainable prosperity in the
developing world.*

TWAS was founded in 1983 by a distinguished group of scientists from the
developing world, under the leadership of Abdus Salam, the Pakistani
physicist and Nobel laureate. They shared a belief that developing nations,
by building strength in science and engineering, could build the knowledge
and skill to address such challenges as hunger, disease and poverty. From
the start, the Academy had essential support from Italian scientists and
political leaders.
