AuthorAID assists researchers in developing countries to publish and communicate their work. It serves as a global forum to discuss and disseminate research, offers training workshops on scientific writing, and provides opportunities for personal mentoring by published researchers and professional editors.

The website hosts a news section and a resource library of posts, articles and presentations on best practice in writing and publication. It also offers a searchable archive of potential mentors or mentees, and information on training and other events.

This network, created by the International Institute for Environment and Development, the International Union for Conservation of Nature, and Internews, connects journalists with scientists to help in improve media reporting of biodiversity issues.

EVIPNet — a WHO initiative — aims to build capacity in developing countries to produce health policy briefs and national policy dialogues.

ISESCO aims to promote the separate and distinct educational, scientific and cultural heritage that combines the 57 OIC member countries. The primary purpose of the organisation is to coordinate the activities of specialist agencies responsible for similar functions within each of the OIC member countries.

ISESCO has helped develop a number of action plans and strategies on an OIC-wide basis in areas such as water resources, university education and Islamic culture. ISESCO has also started awarding prizes in education and literacy, sciences and university research, and culture and communication to individuals within the OIC member countries.

The Pugwash conferences have a history of active science diplomacy — bringing together scientists and public figures, as individuals rather than government or organisation representatives, to discuss and find cooperative solutions to arms control.

The Pugwash website provides information on upcoming events around the world and links to news, reports and commentary about nuclear weapons control and reduction of armed conflict. The conferences are held annually but the organisation also holds more frequent workshops and symposia on timely topics.
