Global research and the GYA

The GYA recognises that major steps have been taken to promote the development of excellent research and widespread education around the world over the past few decades. However, major imbalances remain in the distribution of education, infrastructure, and support for science across countries around the world. This is most starkly seen in the divide between the developed and the developing world, where the bulk of scientific training, output, and funding flow from the former to the latter.
