The Academy of Engineering and Technology of the Developing World (AETDEW)
In 2005, the Group of G77 and China held the 2nd Summit in Doha and urged UNESCO to enhance engineering and technological human and institutional capacity in developing countries. As a result, the UNESCO International Science, Technology and Innovation Centre for South-South Cooperation (ISTIC) was launched in May 2008 in Kuala Lumpur. ISTIC was hosted by the Malaysian Government under the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation (MOSTI) as her contribution to assist sustainable development of sister developing countries through science, technology and innovation.
As the achievement of the inclusive 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) would require greater collaborative efforts by South countries through South-South Cooperation, ISTIC in 2015 proposed the formation of the Academy of Engineering and Technology of the Developing World (AETDEW) to mobilise the engineering, technological and scientific communities in government, industry, academia and civil societal organisations of G77 nations to help them achieve the UN SDGs. AETDEW was registered in Malaysia and launched in Kuala Lumpur in May 2017. Currently AEDTEW membership includes 5 Honorary Fellows, some 200 Fellows and Foreign Fellows. They are top executives and office bearers of international governmental organisations like UNESCO, the UN Office for South-South Cooperation (UNOSSC) and ISTIC; regional governmental organisations like ASEAN and ECO Science Foundation; international scientific and engineering organisations like the InterAcademy Partnership (IAP), the ASEAN Academy of Engineering and Technology (AAET); national governments, national academies, national institutions of engineers, national registration boards and councils of engineers and major national enterprises.
AETDEW primary focus has been to enhance the indigenous engineering and technological human and institutional capacities of G77 nations through the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) that has been embraced by nearly the whole of the developing world. AETDEW became the partner of Sugon Ruiyi Education of China to extend the Data@China Hundred Universities Project to hundred universities in Belt and Road countries to become Digital@Belt and Road Two Hundred Universities Cooperation Project. Some 35 technical universities and colleges in Belt and Road countries have joined the Two Hundred Universities Cooperation Projects which was unfortunately stalled by the COVID-19 pandemic in the past four years. This is being revived.
