TWAS identified 66 developing countries in which capacity in science and technology is significantly lagging. The list includes the 45 least developed countries identified by the United Nations, to which 21 other countries were added because of their low-income levels and specific needs for support in building research capacity.
From 2011 to 2013, TWAS was one of seven partners in the CATALYST Project, which collected and disseminated the best knowledge in the field of Disaster Risk Reduction and Climate Change Adaptation. CATALYST was funded under the European Commission's Seventh Framework Programme (FP7).
