GID

The Inter-academic Group for Development has been created to reinforce the links between science, professional practice and social expectations, within the context of the mandate of the Academies: spread scientific knowledge within society, share science, in keeping with excellence, impartiality and independance.

Basic Principles

 Academic excellence and independence
 Inter-disciplinary and integrated vision of Development
 Internationally based approach

Mission

 Promote Education *- Health for Women-Women Health Education Programme, WHEP (www.whep.info) *- through reflection and expertise: the Avicenne Group
 Promote excellence for S&T senior staff through a programme: “Sciences, professions, societies”
 Foster a Mediterranean Scientific Area and a Mediterranean Inter-Academic Network (PARMENIDES)
 Enhance programmes for developing countries

Action Principles

 Adapt scientific knowledge and practice, taking into account national and local constraints
 Facilitate the transfer of knowledge to people: learning means appropriation, an essential basis for Education and Development
 Ensure an integrated approach to S&T knowledge, by associating scientific and interdisciplinary techniques of knowledge with the economic, legal and socio-cultural dimensions of their application

One ambition

Reinforce the links between science, professional practice and social expectations, within the context of the mandate of the Academies: spread scientific knowledge within society, share science, in keeping with excellence, impartiality and independence.
