The mechanics of a STIP Review

The first science, technology and innovation policy country review (STIP review) was initiated at the request of the Colombian Government in 1995.

Item 3. Science, technology and innovation policy reviews

8. The discussion also addressed the issue of technical assistance to member States in the formulation of STIPs through the STIP reviews.

UNCTAD s Science, Technology and Innovation Review (STIP) and Investment Policy Review (IPR)(see boxes 2 and 3) will serve as valuable sources of information for TEAM.

The review in Colombia is the first Science, Technology and Innovation Policy (STIP) review to be undertaken by CSTD and UNCTAD.

In examining such issues, the STIP review aims at the following

And the technology is only being thrown out by other technologies.

In that regard, developing countries had benefited considerably from the science, technology and innovation policy reviews.

What about introducing technology?

Although initially based on the OECD Science, Technology and Innovation, (STI) Reviews, at least from a procedural perspective, the UNCTAD STIP reviews have been adapted to the needs and characteristics of the developing countries and countries in transition.

It's almost as if they can read but not write with new technologies.

(ii) Identify, as appropriate, new scientific and technological approaches with particular reference to the multidisciplinary aspects of combating desertification and mitigating the effects of drought.

6. The work on science, technology and innovation policy (STIP) reviews received the endorsement and support of the Commission.

(b) New investigative techniques

And it's similar with new technologies.

Enter a new era, science and technology innovation are promising.

UNCTAD also undertakes science, technology and innovation policy reviews upon the request of member States.

(c) Policy reviews in the areas of investment and science, technology and innovation and of assessments of the efficiency of trade supporting services

The Economic and Social Council, at its regular session of July 1995, requested the CSTD to liaise with UNCTAD in establishing a programme of country reviews on science, technology and innovation policy (STIP) for interested countries (ECOSOC resolution of 19 July 1995, Science and Technology for Development, E RS 1995 4).

Augmented reality is just the latest technology.

It was initiated in Geneva, in May 1995 (during the last session of CSTD), at which time a request for the STIP Review was made by the Colombian Government.

Based on its discussion of the first STIP review recently completed in Colombia, the Commission discussed the STIP review process and the lessons learned from that experience, including the influence engendered on development and technical change in the country concerned.

A new technology will come along to fix the messes we made with the last one.

STIP in Colombia

The second STIP review, undertaken by UNCTAD and the CSTD, was initiated in December 1996, through a Programming Mission in Jamaica.

(b) Latest technology in the detection of drugs.

Noting with appreciation the collaboration between the Commission on Science and Technology for Development and the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development in establishing a network of centres of excellence in science and technology for developing countries and in designing and carrying out science, technology and innovation policy reviews,

Every STIP review, like every country, is different and has to be tailored to the specific needs of the participating countries.
