Through capacity building activities, aimed at developing country researchers, lecturers and industry software engineers, UNU IIST is addressing the software technology needs of developing countries

Developing countries will be able to use this information to keep up to date on the latest developments in software technology.

Software technology for developing countries

(c) Software technology for developing countries.

15. Software technology for developing countries

(b) Software technology for developing countries.

107. UNU IIST activities emphasize the development of reliable software over a wide spectrum of applications important to developing countries.

It was noted that free and open source software held potential benefits for developing countries in terms of costs and of the development of ICT related skills, but development in this area required basic digital literacy and ICT awareness among businesses.

169. UNU IIST is providing 50 developing country institutions with technical reports, information on international software literature and free software.

(l) Information and communication technologies (ICT) to enhance ICT development, including connectivity and access to affordable hardware and software. agreed

Development partners could assist by sharing technology, both hardware and software, with the least developed countries.

Capacity development and technical cooperation

57. The University s software technology programme strengthens developing countries knowledge of advanced software and helps them reduce their dependence on innovations from industrial countries.

Policies that support a better understanding and use of free and open source software and technologies, given their positive implications for the development of ICT related human capacities.

This programme concentrates on strengthening developing countries knowledge of advanced software technology by organizing joint research and development projects and providing postgraduate software engineering and computer science education.

New and innovative ways to develop and strengthen industrial and technological skills

Much important work was done to develop tools for identification and evaluation of soft and hard technologies for adaptation.

UNU IIST is working with UNCTAD in developing a course module on software technology and will assist in technical presentations on issues such as the application of software and on hardware requirements.

Other ICT and e business activities such as the implementation of the UNCTAD XI Partnerships on ICT for Development, advisory services on free and open source software, the development of e tourism capacities in developing countries and capacity building in the area of e measurement have not been presented in this paper.

Promote, facilitate and finance, as appropriate, access to and the development, transfer and diffusion of technologies and corresponding know how to developing countries

UNU IAS UNU Institute of Advanced Studies

At the programme level, it recommends national capacity building for population and development and transfer of appropriate technology and know how to developing countries.

Methods to assess mitigation technologies The secretariat has identified several types of software that might be used by Parties, particularly developing country Parties, to evaluate technologies (FCCC SBSTA 1996 4 Add.2).

Computer software directed at problems such as flood control is the sort of eco technology needed in sustainable development.

111. Advanced joint development projects at UNU IIST have focused primarily on software support for infrastructure.

The Commission has played a key role in the early identification and assessment of new scientific and technological developments that may adversely affect the development process, as well as those that may have specific and potential importance for developing countries.

Moreover, he can no longer impart to his sons his skills as a programmer of PC software and direct them towards higher studies in information technology, skills which he considers to be indispensable for their future career development.

(b) Promoting and facilitating, as appropriate, access to and the development, transfer and diffusion of technologies, including environmentally sound technologies and corresponding know how, to developing countries

She hoped that the Commission would continue to play an important role in enhancing the decision making capability of developing countries in science and technology.

To achieve this aim, the development of IT expertise is needed ( hacking techniques, hardware, software, etc.) in order to get useful tools to move inside the terrorist virtual space.

The International Institute for Software Technology (UNU IIST) in Macau

But the pace of exponential growth is really what describes information technologies.

Can you imagine what it would be like if Amazon or eBay or Google or Microsoft or Apple really went green and you caused that to happen?

Hard Financial Questions about Soft Development Money

It is important to note that sustainable development requires state of the art clean technologies , and developing States need to be given access to these technologies and skills.

6. In 1995, four of the University s research and training centres were fully operational the World Institute for Development Economics Research (UNU WIDER) in Helsinki the Institute for New Technologies (UNU INTECH), in Maastricht, the Netherlands the International Institute for Software Technology (UNU IIST) in Macau and the Institute for Natural Resources in Africa (UNU INRA), in Accra.

Promotion of new and renewable energy sources and technologies

Capacity development with a focus on the utilization of African institutions

XII. Skills development sustainable livelihood

The development of the system will require further resources, possibly including consultancy services, staff time, hardware acquisition and software development.

UNU IIST disseminates software technology through the training of its fellows, through its research and advanced development projects and through offshore postgraduate and postdoctoral courses.

To do so, however, they needed financial support as well as the transfer of technological know how.

This would give the company an incentive to ensure that new versions are compatible with and significantly better than old versions otherwise the new versions wouldn t sell, or at least not easily. If Microsoft s new software had to compete successfully at least against its old software, we would know the world was improving.

Improvement and development of technical skills were addressed through training of 52 scientists in methods for the analysis of drugs.

Dance has never had a better friend than technology.
