Mobilizing Science and Technology for Sustainable Development
10 April 2002 - 12 April 2002
Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States

Sponsors/Organizers
Organized by the Initiative on Science and Technology for Sustainability (ISTS), the International Council for Science (ICSU), and the Third World Academy of Sciences (TWAS). Hosted by Harvard University's Weatherhead Center for International Affairs.

Co-chaired by Dr. William Clark, Professor, Harvard University, and Dr. Calestous Juma, Harvard University



The goal of this workshop was to identify specific investment priorities for the next generation of international efforts to harness science and technology in support of sustainable development. A report on the workshop's findings, to be drafted by the organizing committee, will be made widely available to international organizations, governments, businesses, and private foundations with a view to informing decisions on the allocation of political, financial, and technical resources that will be made in the context of the World Summit on Sustainable Development. This workshop was hosted by Harvard University's Weatherhead Center for International Affairs, with co-sponsorship from the Initiative on Science  and Technology for Sustainability, the International Council for Science (ICSU), and the Third World Academy of Sciences. Additional support was provided by the David and Lucile Packard Foundation.
