International Network for the Availability of Scientific Publications

Programme Areas

INASP activities are grouped in five programme areas:

• Education and Research - Supporting: networking, accessing, sharing, and publishing of information for researchers, scholars, scientists, and academics.
  

• Health - Supporting networking, accessing, sharing, and publishing of information for health professionals.
  

• Library Support - Strengthening the work of libraries and information management professionals, especially those serving research and educational communities.
  

• Publishing Support - Strengthening the work of editors and communication professionals, especially those in research and science.
  

• Rural and Agricultural - Supporting networking, accessing, sharing, and publishing of information for rural development practitioners.

A key focus of all our programmes is capacity strengthening which is normally addressed through training and workshops. Strengthening the training skills of trainers is an important part of our vision that developing countries will have the skills to access and contribute information.

We also have 'core' institutional activities that cover the operations of the Board, finance, personnel, and ICT management, internal communication, external relations, publicity, reporting, and publishing, as well as the Oxford Office.
