Every other year TWNSO publishes a directory with detailed information about its member institutions. The publication, the only one of its kind, provides useful information on the status and prospects of science and technology in the South.

Profiles of Institutions for Scientific Exchange and Training in the South

The publication is designed to help increase scientific collaboration both among centres of research in the South and between them and their counterparts in the North.
