Such technical aid, especially in engineering, technology and applied sciences, should be continued and expanded. Special projects for estab- lishing technological and research centres in the less advanced countries have also been taken up by some of the international agencies. This type of aid can be of great value provided a sufficient number of scientific workers in the less advanced countries can be trained to work in such centres, and also provided necessary conditions are established to enable them ‘o do their work properly. 5.
