This volume brings together development stakeholders from several different facets of the development community: social scientists from academia, scientists and engineers working to solve technical problems faced "on the ground" and development practitioners. The aim is to move forward an agenda that successfully links international development and science, technology, and innovation in an ethical, sustainable, and responsible way.
