Topics and Regions
The SciDev.Net website was restructured and relaunched in March 2008 to provide access to material via ‘topic gateways’, which bring together news updates and analysis on key issues. The topics covered are:
- Agriculture & Environment
- Climate Change & Energy
- Health
- New Technologies
- Science & Innovation Policy
- Science Communication
Science and technology news is also available via ‘regional gateways’:
-
- China
- Latin America and the Caribbean
- Middle East and North Africa
- South-Asia
- South-East Asia and the Pacific
- Sub-Saharan Africa
Coverage is informed by regional networks consisting of an extensive number of journalists, consultants, advisors and registered users based in developing countries. They work to ensure that a developing country perspective is represented. They also support the development of professional science journalism skills via science communication workshops and provide essential on-the-job training opportunities for science journalists.
