We Are Involved.........
 



 PUBLISHINGS:
Since 1967, we have produced and distributed publications free to keep both the scientific and lay communitties aware of developments in science and technology. We have produced SCITECH News newspaper (distributed to 25,000+ nationally), Technology Transfer magazine and the BLACKS IN SCIENCE CALENDAR. ASI now enjoys participation on an electronic information system to present the world of science and technology to those having access to computers.
 


 PARTNERING:
We work closely with many organizations to effeciently address common concerns. Projects in which ASI has been involved as a partner include the Oakland, CA School District's "Magnet School Program" and Mathematics Department; BASTEC (Bay Area Science and Technology Education Colloquium — a joint venture of the U.S. Dept. of Energy, Oakland School District, NAAAHR (National Association of African Americans in Human Resources), the NBNA (National Black Nurses Assn); the Urban League's Calif. Bay Area Chapter and other Community Based Organizations.

 

SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY AWARENESS PROGRAM: This program (STAP) helps keep the public aware of developments in Science and Technology through projects such as Science and Technology Awareness Fairs and the Technology and Environment Camp. By becoming a Constituent for Science and Technology Awareness, this program also offers individuals an information resource conduit.
 


CONFERENCES, SEMINARS, WORKSHOPS:
ASI presents information as an individual organization or in partnership with others

Currently, ASI is assisting to sustain Dolisie General Hospital in Congo Brazzaville and assist Sao Tome develop in areas of education and healthcare.
 

PROJECTS' RESOURCES NETWORKING: ASI puts resources together to accomplish tasks, whether they are generated by ASI CORE members or others interested in mutual objectives.
 

INNOVATION and TECHNOLOGY EXCHANGE: Throughout ASI activities, one theme remains constant........ innovation and cognizance of developments in science and technology. Each of us needs to help others achieve their aspirations. We must be able to lead. We must also know where we are going. ASI stresses the importance of staying abreast of technological developments worldwide to give us the best 'feel' possible about future directions.
 


AFRICAN SCIENTIFIC INSTITUTE CORE PROGRAM:
Regional and local involvement in ASI activities is supported and implemented through a group of dedicated individuals who are interested in furthering ASI objectives.These individuals also work with the ASI Fellows Program, International African Science Conferences (IASC), Constituent for Science and Technology Awareness Program, SciTech News, Building Fund, ASI Africa Relief Projects, Speakers Bureau, and Partnering Efforts. ASI is flexible to incorporate activities which are of particular interest to an indvidual, or a group of individuals. ASI acts as a clearinghouse of resources to connect people together to achieve goals.
 

ELECTRONIC ASSESS TO: Attending meetings can be time consuming, frustrating, and even boring. Effective time management is always important to busy people. If you want to participate in ASI activities, or partner with ASI, or simply want to know about ASI and keep abreast of its developments, you may do so without leaving your home or office.

ENGAGING LOCAL, NATIONAL, INTERNATIONAL POLICY MAKERS:
Throughout ASI's history, we have worked with Nobel Prize winners, local, national, and international politicians and dignitaries to help assure that developments in science and technology were at the very forefront of their policies.
 

RESEARCH AND CONSULTING: Both for Profit and Non-Profit activities alike, ASI engages in research and consulting (RC) on a fee basis. Usually non-profit RC is performed as a result of inhouse concerns; the results are then marketed. Profit motivated RC results from responses to outside requests for ASI services, or ASI responds to 'requests for proposals' from others.
