Cité des Sciences à Tanger
UNESCO Headquarters in Paris (2005)
La mise en forme du projet
L’idée d’une Cité des Sciences à Tanger a germé en 2001. Il s’agit d’un enjeu d’ordre multiple : scientifique, économique, technologie, sociétal, et
entrepreneurial. La Cité des Sciences sera un espace vivant, interactif dans lequel le visiteur, enfant jeune ou adulte, citoyen résident ou de passage,
évoluera à son rythme, plutôt en acteur qu’en spectateur, aidé dans sa visite par un réseau d’animateurs scientifiques confirmés. Elle prévoit, aussi, de
mettre la science selon une présentation thématique préviligiant le découpage en grands récits transversaux qui permet au visiteur d’appréhender les
phénomènes naturels dans leur globalité, choix qui est à même d’aider le citoyen à saisir les notions d’échelles de temps et d’espace pour mieux comprendre
le monde naturel et culturel dans lequel il vit et évolue. Ce rapport a été établi suite à une étude de terrain effectué par deux experts de l’UNESCO :
Monsieur le Professeur Tahar GALLALI et Monsieur Walter STAVELOZ, sous la supervision de la Division des politiques scientifiques et du développement durable.

Future Directions for National Reviews of Science, Technology
and Innovation in Developing Countries (2003)
UNESCO Headquarters in Paris
National reviews of science, technology, and innovation are designed to help chart a course that encourages systems of scientific enquiry and broadens
the engagement of scientific evidence in the policymaking process. The methods used for these reviews have varied between countries and among the agencies
involved. To learn from past experiences, a blend of 60 representatives from 12 developing countries and international organizations discussed the impacts
of previous science and technology reviews, studied how ongoing national assessments had been designed and were being implemented, and collective had been
designed and were being implemented, and collectively deliberated on how future reviews might be enhanced. The organisations represented at the workshop
included the World Bank, Sida, UNCTAD, OECD, and the Institut de recherche pour le développement (IRD).
