World Organization for Scientific Cooperation (WOSCO) “Science Without Borders” is the International Non-governmental Organization, the main activity of which is directed to integration and scientific cooperation of scientists, specialists, scientific and educational organizations of different countries.

Founding of WOSCO

[edit]

WOSCO was founded on 23 December 2008 in Istanbul (Turkey) during the Constituent Assembly. Elected to the board of WOSCO were:

Management

Initiatives

[edit]

In 2009 on the initiative of Scientific Coordination Council of WOSCO, chaired by Academician V.Y.Khain, was prepared and presented the Communiqué "Geochange" on Global Changes of Geological Environment[5], signed by famous scientists, public figures and statesmen from 20 countries of the world for presenting to [UNO][3], European Union, authoritative international organizations and heads of states.

In 2009 WOSCO became the participant of International Program ICEP (International Cooperation for Earthquake Prediction[6]) with participation of International Academy of Science H&E, and became the participant of Global Network for the Forecasting of Earthquakes[4][5].

Projects

[edit]

In WOSCO there works a comprehensive scientific-technical electron library, scientific publishing house SWB, scientific bulletin, informational bulletin and standing programs: “Search for Scientific Partners” and “Personal sites of scientists”.

International Program “Search for Scientific Partners” (SSP)[7] is directed, first of all, to the search of partners for joint projects in different countries of the world. It is known that the most of big grants for implementing the scientific projects is given to scientific programs with participation of scientists of different countries. In the terms of organizations which give grants, are often shown the particular countries which can participate in the projects. Search for the partners for such projects sometimes becomes the stumbling block complicating to get the grant. The program allows, on the one hand, during several minutes to select partners for joint projects, and on the other hand, to be registered in database of SSP as a potential scientific partner.

In WOSCO there is also the International Scientific Educational Objects Identifier ISEDOI[8]. In the database of ISEDOI there is information about Universities and other educational and scientific institutions of the world. Using the search system of ISEDOI one can quickly search the educational or scientific institutions, which is interested in. ISEDOI identifier is useful in searching the organizations-partners for joint international projects, for carrying out the joint conferences and other forums. Special category of ISEDOI users can be matriculants who have difficulties in searching for the suitable educational institution.

WOSCO also makes informational and material and technical support to the scientists and scientific-technical organizations which carry out innovation projects. One of the forms of material-technical support of scientists is the giving of grants to publish more important results of scientific researches[9].
