据“欧洲发展政策管理中心”(简称 ECDPM,是一个设在荷兰的发展思想库)发表的一份报告,穷国从国际合作研究项目中常常学不到什么东西,因为这些项目都是根据发达国家的需要而设计的,也是由来自发达国家的研究人员支配的。相反,穷国可从南—北研究网络中得到许多好处,因为这样的网络可以保证所有成员(不仅仅是发展中国家成员)都享有明确的利益。该报告说,最成功的合作关系是,合作方可以自己解决经费问题,不过分依赖资助机构的支持。解决经费的办法可以是通过收取会费,也可以是从委托研究课题中获得收入。报告认为,南—北之间进行科学合作时应当学习发展中国家之间进行科学合作的成功经验。报告还指出,南—北之间进行 According to a report published by “European Development Policy Management Center” (ECDPM, a think tank based in the Netherlands), poor countries often fail to learn anything from international collaborative research projects because these are Designed according to the needs of developed countries, they are also governed by researchers from developed countries. Conversely, poor countries can derive many benefits from the South-North research network, as such a network ensures that all members (not just members of developing countries) have a clear interest. According to the report, the most successful cooperation is that the partners can solve their own funding problems independently of the support of the funding agencies. The way to solve the problem can be through the collection of dues, or from the commissioned research project. According to the report, successful scientific cooperation among developing countries should be learned from the scientific cooperation between South and North. The report also pointed out that South - North between
