Science and the poor
‚It is not surprising that the rich get richer in a continueing cycle of growth while the poorest are often left behind. A special effort should be made by the powerhouses of world science to address the unmet challenges of the poor.‘
Jeffrey D. Sachs, The End of Poverty

Our aims…
• to unite scientific questions with development-political objectives
• to embed the development-political approach into science and research

Is there a need for scientific partnership?
• Global research questions, e.g. climate change, international treaties, pandemic diseases, security,…
• Global competition takes place in research as well: what role for Austria in the future?
• Changes in Aid Architectcure (General budget support), modalities of cooperation and accessibility of knowledge, global awareness,…

Impeding factors for partnership & cooperation
• Structural issues, limited career options for scientists
• Lack of networking among Austrian institutions in development research
• Capacities in Austria often inadequately trained to meet the high and diverse requirements: lack of training and capacity development,…

Impeding factors for partnership & cooperation
• Lack of policy coherence
• Demand for experts / expertise in development cooperation – a lot remains still unclear !
• No tradition in Development Studies, Development Policy Research,… - individual initiatives struggle with structure and limitations

Impeding factors for partnership & cooperation
• Resources:– Lack of an adequately equipped
funding programme (ca 140 000 Euro/year KEF funding, Austria:ca 400 000 Euro/year )
– Sweden: 54 Mill. Euro (2005)

Summary
• Is it the powerhouses of world science we need?
• What kind of partnership can we offer, are we willing to offer?
• Power & participation – what does it mean?
• Are we ready to stop dividing, categorising, classifying the world and accept a new global concept & understanding of science?
