Excellence in science series

excellence in science seriesExcellence in Science: Profiles of Research Institutions in Developing Countries is a series of booklets published by TWAS highlighting successful scientific institutions in the South. Ten institutions have so far been profiled: INBio (Costa Rica), CBS (Tunisia), IMRA (Madagascar), CDRI (India), IMPLAD (China), IHI (Tanzania), SAIAB (South Africa), NARL (Uganda), ORI (Botswana) and IMS (Zanzibar, Tanzania). The volumes are also available for download as PDF files.

scienzaexpress

Scienza Express logoScienza Express is a young Italian publishing house that focuses on scientific themes. Its mission is to bridge the gap between the scientific community and the citizenry. Scienza Express is now partnering with TWAS to publish a new book series presenting successful examples of good science in the developing countries. Sharing science is the goal that makes Scienza Express and TWAS perfect partners.
