Basic Sciences, Research, Innovation and Engineering
Fostering peace through science and collaboration
Basic sciences are the bedrock of scientific understanding, enabling us to devise innovative solutions to address future challenges proactively. They can be a powerful catalyst for change, particularly in the developing world. In order to fully harness this potential, access to science and international cooperation are critical.

Enhancing
Member States' institutional and human capacities in basic sciences, technology, research, innovation, and engineering
Fostering
excellence in science education at all levels
Supporting
the establishment of high-quality universities and research centres to harness the transformative potential of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM)
Promoting
scientific cooperation
