UNESCO Multisectoral Regional Office in Nairobi Visits CASTED
December 8,2023
On November 29,
Yoslan Nur, Head of the UNESCO Natural Sciences Sector (a.i.) at the UNESCO
Multisectoral Regional Office in Nairobi, Kenya, visited CASTED to discuss future
cooperation. CASTED staff from the Office of Think Tank Operation and Research
Management, the Institute of Science and Technology Theory, the Institute of
Frontier Science and Technology, and the Institute of International Science and
Technology Relations participated in the discussion.
Dr. Yoslan Nur
first made a report on the theme of "UNESCO's Strategy and Initiative to
Promote Science, Technology and Innovation in Africa" for the
participants. He introduced the basic situation of the African continent,
including geographical environment, cultural background, economic development
level, etc., and introduced UNESCO's specific initiatives and main obstacles in
promoting regional development. At last, he made suggestions on promoting the
development of science and technology in Africa in the future.
In the later discussion,
CASTED participants said that Dr. Yoslan's report helped to further understand
the current situation of scientific and technological development in Africa,
and provided an important reference for promoting the cooperation between CASTED
and African institutions. As an important participant in the Belt and Road
Initiative, the African continent has always been concerned about and supported
the implementation of the Belt and Road Science and Technology Action Plan. It
is hoped that in the future, we will continue to strengthen scientific and
technological training and scientific and technological exchanges among African
countries through the UNESCO Category II Center of CASTED, and promote the Belt
and Road scientific and technological cooperation to achieve more results.
