Colleagues,
As reported in GenomeWebNews...The United States and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia have formed a pact that will enable greater cooperation between the two nations across a range of scientific research programs, including plant genomics and biotechnology, health, agriculture, water purification, and other areas, the US Department of State said this week.
The agreement will give US researchers “greater access to new research opportunities, provide US academic institutions the opportunity to form new partnerships with centers of learning in the Middle East, and provide new ways for the US science and technology business community to be more globally competitive,” the State Department said.
Saudi Arabia is planning to implement a five-year, $30 billion effort to upgrade its science and technology infrastructure, the State Department also noted.
