Brief Introduction
To
strengthen the dissemination of STI policy data and information, UNESCO has
been working with the People’s Republic of China to conduct research, to
facilitate technology transfer and to promote international cooperation. The
Chinese Government with UNESCO’s support established CISTRAT in 2012 as a
Category II Centre under the auspices of UNESCO. The Centre is based in Chinese
Academy of Science and Technology for Development (CASTED) which is one of the
most significant think tanks in China that supports S&T policy-making.
CISTRAT leverages the research capacity and cooperation network of CASTED to
provide training for S&T policy officials, researchers, teachers, etc., in
developing countries. By now, nearly 100 international trainees have benefited
