联合国教科文组织不久前发表《世界科学报告》,指出当今世界上发达国家和发展中国家的差距是“知识的差距”,强调“没有科学知识的传播就不会有经济的持续发展”。 这份长达200多页的报告是由一批专家、学者共同提出的。报告指出,目前全世界80％的“研究发展”活动集中在工业化国家,它们每年用于科研的经费占国民生产总值的2.9％。其中日本用于研究发展项目的经费最多,平均每人每年700美元;其次是美国,平均每人600美元;欧洲联盟各国平均每人300美元。与此相反,许多发展中国家每年用于科研的经费在国民生产总值中所占的比例还不到发达国家的1/10。拉美国家每年人均为10美元,而非洲的尼日利亚仅为0.22美元。
Not long ago, UNESCO published the World Science Report, pointing out that the gap between developed and developing countries in today's world is “the gap between knowledge” and stressed that “there will be no sustained economic development without the dissemination of scientific knowledge.” The report of more than 200 pages was put forward by a group of experts and scholars. The report notes that currently 80% of the world's “research and development” activities are concentrated in industrialized countries, each of which contributes 2.9% of their GNP per year. Among them, Japan used the most funds for research and development projects at an average cost of 700 U.S. dollars per person per year, followed by the United States at an average cost of 600 U.S. dollars per capita, and the European Union averaged about 300 U.S. dollars each. In contrast, the annual funding for research in many developing countries accounts for less than one-tenth of the GNP in developed countries. Latin American countries average 10 dollars a year, compared with 0.22 dollars in Africa and Nigeria.
