Regional partners

Five Regional Partners keep TWAS close to grassroots science in the developing world

The Academy’s partners in the five major regions of the developing world perform the following functions: provide information to scientists, organize conferences, select Young Affiliates, propose candidates for TWAS awards, raise awareness of TWAS and its programmes, and may identify candidates for nomination to TWAS membership.
