DFID Consultations: Science, Engineering, Technology and Innovation (SETI) Strategy

View the summaries of comments:

DFID is now in the process of developing a Science and Innovation Strategy. The website encourages contributions of comments, and has provided a series of questions to guide those comments. While DFID will not respond to individual submissions in detail, an external moderator is providing summaries of the submissions, which are being posted on the website every two weeks. The closing date for receipt of contributions is 19 September 2005, so the last summary should be posted by the end of September.

The summaries to date are quite interesting. The first two summaries seem to represent comments from people who know and work in the SETI field, but in my view have a rather limited view, perhaps too restricted to current trends in foreign assistance thinking.
