They had no conventional technical background.

This could include traditional and indigenous technologies.

22. The traditional data processing techniques supported by SPRING included the following

Report of the International Technical Workshop on Indigenous Traditional Knowledge

J. Transmission technology

Even in traditional labour intensive sectors, competitiveness is increasingly a function of technological change, continuous training and adaptation of skills, and technological innovation.

II. OBSERVATIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS The importance of merging space technology with other conventional techniques was stressed throughout the Workshop.

The scope of South South cooperation has also expanded beyond the traditional economic and technical areas.

Traditional and local technical knowledge, know how and practices, often collectively referred to as traditional technologies, represent accumulated cognitive and perceptual experience of interactions between a group of people, their physical and biological environments, and the production systems.

It might request the Secretariat to prepare a commentary on the overall role of traditional and local technology and how it might be linked to modern technology, where appropriate.

Dissemination of technological information

The Convention makes clear that a new philosophy of technological cooperation needs to replace the traditional top down paradigm of technology transfer.

And for this purpose, traditional cell culture techniques just really aren't enough.

(b) Promotion of the professionalization of their traditional skills, arts and crafts

Experts also considered the type of criteria that should be used for evaluating alternatives in comparison with conventional techniques and practices.

The traditional methods are training in specialized centres, training in the workplace, training by mobile teams and distance training, to which computers and technological aids have recently been added.

The aim was to create a synergy between the latest technologies and traditional media such as press and radio.

(d) Information communication technology

Technical and job training in areas not traditionally associated with women, 1991 1992

On the technical side, there has been a slight increase in the number of women in non traditional jobs.

(e) Provision of technical assistance to strengthen national and regional institutions in the collection, compilation and dissemination of statistics and the use and maintenance of technology.

These needs include research on farming systems that do not require purchased inputs or advanced technology but that would make efficient use of existing technologies, local knowledge and traditional practices.

Girls were being encouraged to pursue technical and vocational training and to enter other traditionally male fields.

Clean coal technologies were at least 25 percent more efficient than traditional coal fired power plants.

E. Technical cooperation and advocacy

Financing technology cooperation. Objective Ensure availability of finance for the transfer of technology and the use of indigenous and traditional knowledge and technologies at all levels in affected developing countries.

(f) Dissemination of information on new and advanced technology and applications

At the same time, many speakers, however, stressed the importance of continued dissemination of information in the traditional media to meet the needs of those countries that were less technologically advanced than others.

The potential of space technology for improving traditional public health care services was recognized by participants.

The media and information and communication technologies (ICT).

Accordingly the CST might wish to focus on developing methodologies for information sharing, disseminating inventories and ways to link traditional knowledge to modern technologies and methods.

b) To launch a technical training subsystem to improve the qualifications of the female labour force, promote equality of opportunity and treatment and provide access for young people to non traditional technical careers.

Furthermore, the development and the diffusion of other new technologies such as biotechnology, materials and laser technology have also progressed, although their impact has been felt less than that of information technology.

E. Technical cooperation and advocacy 65 67 16

(f) Research on high data rate satellite communications systems using optical and millimetre wave techniques

Based on the previous work of the two CST ad hoc panels on traditional knowledge to combat desertification, a number of recommendations for technology transfer at national and subregional levels have been put forward for implementation.
