Abstract
It seems increasingly clear that scientific research and research training is essential for the development process. A major difference between developing and developed countries is related to their ability to select, create, modify, adapt or use advanced technologies efficiently. The high complexity and frequent changes in the most efficient technologies have increased the quantitative and qualitative need for research trained manpower in many developing countries but these countries are often unable to carry out high quality research training on their own. At the same time, overseas training is becoming increasingly expensive and is in some cases less relevant to domestic needs. At least a partial solution to these problems can be obtained if relevant research activities in developing countries are improved and expanded.
