By providing long-term support for the development of active and sustainable research environments, ISP aims at assisting developing countries in Africa, Asia, and Latin America in order to strengthen their domestic research capacity within the basic sciences, focusing on physics (since 1961), chemistry (since 1970) and mathematics (since 2002). The support is directed to research groups as well as to scientific networks. To meet the demands, ISP cooperates with all Swedish institions of higher educa- tion as well as with universities in other countries. In addition to Uppsala Uni- versity, the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida) is a long-valued major financial contributor to the ISP operation. Scientific networking is a natural part of research activities in industri- alized countries, and many successful research efforts are based

During this period over 50 existing technical and other colleges were combined into 30 institutions in a nonuniversity, "public" sector in order to address the increasing need for vocational, professional, and industrial-based courses that could not be met by the universities.
