STI Policy Information in APEC
STI Policy Network
ASTWEB
ASTWEB is a site for information of APET S&T policy links. The goal is developing S&T NETWORKS in the APEC regions.2nd APEC Youth Science Festival
The 2nd APEC Youth Science Festival aims at providing a platform for networking and the exchange of ideas among APEC youths, directed at discovery and innovation. The objectives of the Festival are to enhance the intellectual and creative interests of APEC youths in science and technology; introduce various fields of work in science and technology which illustrate future career possibilities; and provide opportunities for APEC youths to exchange knowledge of science and technology.A Feasibility Study for the Development of a Postharvest Network for the APEC Region
The long term objectives of this initiative are to reduce postharvest losses of grain and perishable commodities (fruit and vegatable by the use of appropriate technologies introduced at various levels in the food supply chain. The short term goals are to initiate the development of a 'Postharvest Network' of firms, universities and public as well as private R & D organisations interested in identifying the key research areas which will contribute towards achieving the long term objectives. The economies involved are as follows: Australia, Canada, Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand.APEC - Science and Technology Policy Research Center
The purposes of APEC - Science and Technology Policy Research Center (virtual) are to provide a supporting role for fostering economic and technical (ECOTECH) cooperation within the APEC and to serve as a common forum on innovation and S&T policies between the APEC and other international organizations. The web site provides the research findings on national innovation systems and information on how APEC members collaborated in these research activities. The forum section intends to stimulate discussion and to encourage dialogue concerning Science and Technology policy and strategies within APEC members and other regional economies.APEC Cooperation for Earthquake Simulation
APEC Cooperation for Earthquake Simulation (ACES)
ACES is an ongoing grand challenge science research cooperation between APEC Member Economies aimed at the development of realistic numerical simulation models for the physics and dynamics of the complete earthquake generation process and to assimilate new earthquake observations into the models. The project fosters collaboration between relevant complementary programs of the participating member economies and to foster development of the required research infrastructure and research programs. The success of ACES has led to agreement to establish - as the next step - a frontier international institute for solid earth simulation research called the international Solid Earth Research Virtual Observatory institute - iSERVO (http://www.iservo.edu.au).APEC Co-ordinating Centre for Good Clinical Practice
The Co-ordinating Centre for Good Clinical Practice (GCP) for the APEC economies was established so as to provide a platform for the economies to come together to address GCP needs to provide a common framework for medicines to be evaluated for safety, quality and efficacy.APEC Emerging Infections Network
APEC EINet enhances cooperation between APEC economies in their efforts to deal with emerging infectious diseases, which can seriously disrupt trade, travel and other economic activity. EINet's use of the Internet (Web site and email lists) is intended to facilitate information-sharing, data collection and other forms of collaboration among health officials, policymakers, academicians and the business community.APEC Study on Promoting Researcher Exchange
This project is to study current status of trans-border flow of researchers and to identify major legal/inistitutional/social and other factors which are related to researcher exchange, and thus expected to provide useful background information for those policy makers of APEC member economies who are in pursuit of achieving higher trans-border mobility of researchers.APEC Technology Foresight Center
The APEC Technology Foresight Center was launched in Bangkok, Thailand, on February 3rd 1998 with a one-day Public Seminar: Introduction to Technology Foresight, followed by a three-day Training Workshop: Using Technology Foresight. The workshop, attended by 30 participants from seven APEC economies, provided 'hands-on' training in how to use the key foresight techniques of Delphi and Scenario planning. The seminar and workshop were the first of many events that will be organised to promote the adoption of technology foresight throughout APEC. The Center aims to provide information, offer high-quality training and undertake multi-economy research projects. For more information about our objectives, activities, and how you can get involved, consult the APEC Technology Foresight website.APEC Technomart Network
This web site will provide a gateway for private sectors to participate in the APEC Technomart event. It will also help disseminate technology information and enhance technology transfer and cooperation among member economies. All members of ISTWG are welcome to utilize the network and share the information of the database.APEC Science and Technology Network (ASTN)
The APEC Science and Technology Network (ASTN), is a means to facilitate active exchange of and interaction among the scientists and engineers of the APEC region. The ASTN aims to bridge the gaps in the R&D management capabilities of the APEC member economies, promote the exchange of scientists and engineers across the region, share.STI Policy Indicators in APEC
