Uruguay

The Program for the Development of Basic Sciences (PEDECIBA) was founded in October 1986 through an agreement of the ministry for education and culture and the UDELAR as well as with the active participation of the Programa de las Naciones Unidas Para el Desarrollo (PNUD). In 1995, the law for national budget established the program permanently. The central objectives of PEDECIBA are the creation and maintenance of a scientific plat form which supports the development of basic sciences and the technological development, the support of the formation of professionals of different scientifc-technical disciplines as well as the active participation in the consolidation of a scientific and cultural nexus in Uruguay. Those objectives orient themselves on two directions: The creation of a stable, interdisciplinary system which supports and promotes scientific research as well as the formation of human resources in basic-scientific disciplines which are capable of integrating themselves in the academical community and in the productive public or private sector.
