THE ORGANIZATION

Throughout the next decade major trends through an intermix of the life sciences and information technology will involve increasing use of biotechnological processes in understanding life, eradicating hereditary diseases, developing novel bioindustries, and furthering the uses of biomedical products in conserving the quality of life and the environment. Bioinformatics and the life sciences are and will continue to replace physics and chemistry as the avenues of employment in labour, industrial and socio-cultural markets of tomorrow.

UNESCO’s programmes in the life sciences aims at promoting international scientific co-operation in these fields, and bridging the scientific and technological differences existing between developed and developing countries. They also provide the least developed countries with the tools for enhancing the quality of scientific research. Furthermore national and regional issues of importance are addressed.
