The TWAS-International Science, Technology and Innovation Centre for South-South Cooperation (ISTIC) project is divided into three phases:
1. PHASE 1: Scientists, entrepreneurs and others are invited to submit abstracts of their experience by completing Document A and mailing it to [email protected] by Tuesday 15 May 2012.
2. PHASE 2: Authors of the best 10-15 case studies, as judged by a panel of experts, will be invited to present full-length reports (based on the guidelines in Document B) at a workshop in Penang, Malaysia scheduled for 15-19 October 2012. The workshop will be followed by a ISTIC-TWAS competition on "Successful Innovation in Science and Technology in Developing Countries" (20-21 October 2012): the best three presentations given at the workshop will be rewarded with cash prizes of USD 5,000, USD 3,000 and USD 2,000, respectively.
3. PHASE 3: TWAS and ISTIC will edit the case studies of the 10-15 finalists for publication and make them freely available throughout the South.
