2010 Notable Accolade

Alex Dehgan (USAID Science and Technology Advisor)  “The Science, Technology, and Innovation conference was a great success for USAID, made  possible in large part by the exceptional work of the CAMRIS team, work that in terms of quality and quantity far exceeded expectations.”   

CAMRIS is currently facilitating and supporting the work of USAID’s Chief Operating Office and the Agency by providing specific, short-term analyses and studies, communications and research on development and humanitarian assistance subjects.

In July 2010, the conference brought together approximately 60 leading scientists from around the world to develop consensus over major challenges, integrate current knowledge, fashion a scientific agenda, and create new approaches. The CAMRIS team drafted a white paper “Global Science, Technology, and Innovation Challenges”, which served as the base document for the conference, facilitated discussions at the conference, provided logistics support, and drafted the final conference report.
