SECTION 1: EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

International Science Programme Annual Report 2016 The Annual Report, since 2010, essentially follows “Sida’s Global Research Programmes Annual Reporting: Guiding Principles and Reporting Format”, provided in June 2010. Objective, Structure and Organisation, and Impact (Sections 2 – 4) Objective The objective of the International Science Programme (ISP) is to contribute to the development of active and sustainable environments for higher education and scientific research in developing countries, within chemistry, mathematics, and physics, in order to increase the domestic production and use of results and skills relevant for the fight against poverty. Structure and Organisation The support is collaborative and long-‐term, with a strong local ownership. Support is provided to institutionally based research groups, and to scientific networks. It includes cooperation with research groups at more advanced host institutions at Swedish universities, in other Nordic and European countries, and in the regions. ISP is a unit at the Faculty of Science and Technology at Uppsala University. It has three subprograms: • International Programme in the Physical Sciences (IPPS, since 1961) • International Programme in the Chemical Sciences (IPICS, since 1970) • International Programme in the Mathematical Sciences (IPMS, since 2002) In 2016, ISP operated the core program on contributions from Sida (33 million SEK), Uppsala University (2.85 million SEK) and Stockholm University (1 million SEK). A Board and an Executive Committee to the Board is governing ISP. Each subprogram has a Scientific Reference Group to guide activities. The Board and the reference groups have participants representing institutions outside Uppsala University and Sweden. The operation of ISP is regulated in an ordinance established by the Swedish government in 1988. In 2016, ISP had five core scientific and eight administrative staff members. Two additional staff member contributed with evaluation and monitoring, and project coordination. Impact Over the years, ISP support has reached more than 120 research groups and 20 research networks in lower-‐income countries, and has been instrumental in the establishment of a large number of viable masters and PhD programs. The ISP partnerships embrace hundreds of scientists on an annual basis. Presently, the researchers belong to research groups in twelve lower-‐income countries in Africa and Asia and to networks covering more than fifty countries in five continents. ISP’s partners influence their local societies by sharing knowledge, innovations, and skills and contribute in several ways to the achievement of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals. More than 90% of the PhD graduates of supported partners stay in their home region, and several have become leaders in science, politics and business. The ISP alumni include university vice-‐chancellors, ministers in national governments and successful business leaders. Many serve as experts in national committees for research and policymaking including for example food safety and nuclear energy.

Activities and Results (Sections 5 – 6) Supported research groups and scientific networks In 2016, ISP supported 40 research groups and 19 scientific networks. There were 19 research groups in chemistry, one in mathematics, and 20 in physics. In nine of the twelve Swedish “focus countries” totally 33 research groups were supported, including a new chemistry group in Uganda, in the field of coordination chemistry. Support was phased out to a chemistry group in natural products chemistry in Zambia because activities ceased. Seven research groups were supported in three “non-‐focus countries”, Laos, Myanmar and Zimbabwe, four in chemistry and three in physics, including a new physics group in the field of nuclear physics and materials science. In addition, 19 scientific networks were supported. Major results Groups and networks reported 432 active PhD students (26% female), and 599 students training for MSc, MPhil or Licentiate degrees (31% female), benefiting directly or indirectly from ISP support. About 26% of the PhD students, and 2% of the Master students were trained in sandwich programs. In total, 80 PhD and 188 MSc (etc.) students graduated. Most of the PhD graduates (74%) were trained in local programs, 25% of them female, whereas 26% were trained in “sandwich” programs, 50% of them female. The majority of 188 graduated MSc (etc.) students were trained in local programs (95%, 29% of them female). The research groups and networks disseminated close to 650 scientific papers as publications or at conferences. There were 295 publications in scientific journals and 31 book chapters or other single scientific or popular publications. The publications in journals were to 39% in journals listed with impact factors in Web of Science, and another 11% were in journals deemed as quality journals by the Norwegian Register for Scientific Journals, Series and Publishers. ISP was acknowledged in 36% of the chemistry journal publications, in 12% of the mathematics, and in 46% of the physics ones, respectively. There were 323 contributions to scientific conferences. Most contributions were to international conferences (122, 86% oral), and there were 119 contributions to regional and 82 to national/local conferences, 85% and 89% of them oral, respectively. Groups and networks arranged 153 scientific meetings attended by more than 5,400 participants. Research findings Research findings were reported for example in the fields of ecological chemistry, environment-‐al chemistry, materials science, medical technology, and natural products chemistry. Results based management logical framework performance indicators ISP’s results based management logical framework was established in 2012 and refined in 2013, along with 24 outcome performance indicators linked to three specific objectives. In 2014 and 2015 efforts were made to calculate the indicators for the previous Sida agreement period, 2008-‐2013, and this report shows the results, including those for 2014-‐2016. Sida has selected ten of the indicators for their monitoring of the performance of the program. Only those are provided in this summary.

Expenditures by research groups and networks Together, research groups and scientific networks spent close to 24 million SEK. Groups accounted for 54% and networks for 46% of the total expenditures, together using 84% of the financial resources available (including balances brought forward from 2015, making up 13% of available funding). In total, 48% of allocations were transferred for local management and use, and ISP paid 52% to other recipients on request. Other Activities and Events (Section 7) Sida assignments ISP had Sida coordination assignments in the bilateral programs with universities in Ethiopia, Mozambique, Tanzania, and Uganda. In addition, ISP was engaged to pay subsistence allowances to Sida bilateral students from Bolivia, Ethiopia, Rwanda, Tanzania, and Uganda, while in Sweden. In October, Sida and ISP jointly organized a seminar at Sida, directed to students in bilateral and ISP programs. Strategic activities Following the Strategic Plan 2013-‐2017, each year a strategy action plan is established. In 2016, strategic activities addressed five areas; 1) Continued work to promote gender equality; 2) Continued evaluation of previous collaboration; 3) Information and communication; 4) Fund raising and other supplementary funding; and 5) Certificate of collaboration with former ISP partners. Collaboration In the collaboration with:

• Al Baha University, Saudi Arabia; a new PhD student (M) was received to Dept. Information Technology, UU, and two mutual visits were carried out, one in each direction.

• Linköping University in the support to Research Management in Sida’s bilateral program with University of Rwanda (UR); two training programs were arranged at UR, one regarding training of technicians and one regarding training of PhD supervisors.

• National Mathematical Centre (NMC), Abuja, Nigeria; the NMC staff member Mr. Olufunminiyi Abiri graduated with a PhD from Luleå Univ. Technology, Luleå, Sweden.

• The Faculty of Science, Stockholm University (SU); the steering group met in April to discuss the activities funded by SU.

• Thailand Research Fund and Thailand International Development Cooperation Agency; a first, commonly selected fellow (F), from Myanmar, commenced her PhD studies in Thailand.

SECTION 3: OBJECTIVES, OPERATION AND IMPACT

3.1 ISP’s Objectives

To contribute to the development of active and sustainable environments for higher education and scientific search in developing countries, within chemistry, mathematics, and physics, with the ultimate goal to increase the production and use of results relevant for the fight against poverty by researchers in the basic sciences in developing countries. According to ISP’s Strategic Plan 2013-‐2017:1

ISP contributes to the creation of new knowledge to address development challenges.

The ISP vision is to efficiently contribute to a significant growth of scientific knowledge in low-‐income countries, thereby promoting social and economic wealth in those countries, and, by developing human resources, in the world as a whole.

In support of this vision, the overall goal of ISP is to contribute to the strengthening of scientific research and postgraduate education within the basic sciences, and to promote its use to address development challenges.

ISP therefore has the general objective to strengthen the domestic capacity for scientific research and postgraduate education, by long-‐term support to research groups and scientific networks in these fields.

The expected outcome for supported partners in low-‐income countries is scientifically stronger, more resourceful research environments, better-‐qualified postgraduates, and the increased production and use of high quality scientific research results,

The expected outcome for collaborating hosts to ISP-‐supported partners is an expanded global perspective, an enhanced awareness and knowledge of the potentials, conditions, and relevant issues of research collaboration with low-‐income countries, and an increased collaboration with scientists in those countries.

To achieve its general objective, ISP defines three specific objectives, to be achieved on the level of the supported collaboration partners:

1) Better planning of, and improved conditions for carrying out, scientific research and postgraduate training.

2) Increased production of high quality research results. 3) Increased use by society of research results and of graduates in development.

These objectives constitute the basis for ISP’s logical framework in the results based management (RBM) system introduced in 2013. The program logic, first published in ISP’s Strategic Plan 2013-‐2017, was refined in November 2013 and the current version is given in the ISP Annual Report 2013. In 2014, the monitoring and evaluation system continued to be developed correspondingly, and the data sources for the performance indicators were reviewed. In the Annual Report 2015, the first comprehensive presentation of the RMB-‐indicators was given, and it is here completed with the data of 2016. (See Section 5.2.2).

3.2 ISP’s Method of Operation

ISP provides support for the development of active, productive, and sustainable research and higher education in the basic sciences physics, chemistry, and mathematics in low-‐income countries. The support is collaborative and long-‐term, and is managed on a collegial scientist-‐to-‐scientist basis with a strong local ownership. Support is provided to institutionally based research groups, and to scientific networks to facilitates cooperation and sharing of resources. The work is carried out in close cooperation with researchers at more resourceful host institutions. The program is maintained by Uppsala University, but ISP is a truly international program. Host institutions for “sandwich” students and collaboration may be located at other Swedish universities, in other Nordic and European countries, or in the regions.

The operation of ISP is regulated in an ordinance established by the Swedish government in 1988 (UHÄ-‐FS 1988:18; SFS 1992:815), through the then Office of Universities and Higher Education (Universitets-‐ och högskoleämbetet; UHÄ). The ordinance requires the University Board to give notice on additional directions needed for the operation of the program. These are established in the Instruction, latest revised and decided by the Vice Chancellor 22 March 2016 (http://www.isp.uu.se/about-‐isp/board/). The scope of the revised instruction was reduced in relation to the earlier version, and the duties of the Executive Committee to the Board were omitted. They are from now on the responsibility of the Board to decide. Therefore, in the meeting of the ISP Board 13 June 2016, a new Rules of Procedure regulation was decided, to complement the Instruction in this respect. 3.3 Impact of ISP Support on Development

ISP has strengthened scientific capacities in countries with weak scientific infrastructure since 1961. Rapid human and societal development around the globe requires scientific research of high quality to be successful. Over the years, ISP support has reached more than 120 research groups and 20 research networks in lower-‐income countries, and has been instrumental in the establishment of a large number of viable masters and PhD programs. The ISP partnerships embrace hundreds of scientists on an annual basis. Presently, the researchers belong to research groups in twelve lower-‐income countries in Africa and Asia and to networks covering more than fifty countries in five continents. ISP’s partners influence their local societies by sharing knowledge, innovations, and skills and contribute in several ways to the achievement of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals. More than 90% of the PhD graduates of supported partners stay in their home region, and several have become leaders in science, politics and business. The ISP alumni include university vice-‐chancellors, ministers in national governments and successful business leaders. Many serve as experts in national committees for research and policymaking including for example food safety and nuclear energy.

5.2.1 Examples of Research Findings Chile (Ecological chemistry) Nestmate recognition is a necessary capacity for the occurrence of discrimination between nest-‐mate and non-‐nestmate termite individuals. Previous work showed that production of soldiers of Neotermes chilensis, a one-‐piece nesting termite, increased when the risk of invasion of their colony increased. If termite soldiers are to fulfill their defensive role under these circumstances, they should show nestmate recognition ability. Results showed that soldiers were indeed more aggressive toward non-‐nestmates than nestmates for all castes, and that this discrimination was mediated mainly by differences in the composition of cuticular compounds. (IPICS LANBIO) Bangladesh (Environmental chemistry) Residual pesticides in vegetable samples above maximum residue levels (MRL) may be hazard-‐ous for the health. To assess safe level of pesticides in vegetables, residual levels were studied in experimental cultivations of eight vegetables after dosing of pesticides according to farmers’ practice. Cypermethrin was found to be at safe level for consumption after 2-‐5 days, whereas, safe levels for consumption of chloropyrifos, imidacloprid, acephate and lambda cyhalothrin treated vegetables were attained after 3-‐8 days. (IPICS BAN:04) Samples of 19 marine fish species were analyzed for heavy metals. Most of the values were below the permitted limit set by FAO/WHO 2004 and ANHMRC, except for Hg and Cd that in some cases were present in excess amount. (IPICS BAN:04) (Medical technology) Through COMSOL simulations the group has developed a technique for distinguishing malignant breast tumors from benign, non-‐invasive ones. The sensitivity of distinction was in the range of 5% to 20% depending on sizes and depths of tumors. (IPPS BAN:04) Anemia is mainly detected by the level of hemoglobin in blood. There are home-‐measurement devices that depend on a chemical impregnated strip, which are costly. Therefore, the group designed a jig where both electrical impedance and optical properties could be mesured on a drop of blood obtained using finger prick. The whole-‐body impedance was also measured, using surface electrodes on the limbs. All the three techniques showed good correlations with the percentage of hemoglobin measured using standard strip technique. (IPPS BAN:04) Ethiopia (Materials science) A variety of new polymeric materials were prepared, for possible application as photoactive materials in solar cells. One of the polymers gave a power conversion efficiency of 8.3% in converting light energy into electricity in bulk heterojunction solar cells. This is the highest performance recorded thus far by the group. (IPICS ETH:01) Kenya (Natural products chemistry) Stem and root bark extracts of Erythrina abysinica were taken through tests with mice, to see the ability of the extracts to kill plasmodia (Plasmodium berghei) in the animal, and effects on crucial body organs. It was noticed that the root bark extracts were more active than the stem bark extracts. The percent chemosuppression on P. berghei infection was as high as 77% in mice treated with root extracts at 50 mg/kg. (IPICS KEN:02) Zimbabwe (Environmental chemistry) A study that investigated levels of cyanide and heavy metals in maize plants grown on soil from a mining area revealed high levels of cyanide, and of copper, zinc, cadmium and iron. Growth of the plants (measured as leaf and stem lengths) was profoundly reduced in plants grown on polluted soil, in comparison to controls. The results are of concern as most people in the mining areas were noted to plant their crops in the same polluted soil. (IPICS ZIM:02)

22

A study of heavy metal contamination in vegetables irrigated with treated sewage water and the results showed high levels of copper, iron, lead, zinc and cadmium in comparison to vegetables watered with tap water. (IPICS ZIM:02) A study of cow tissue samples (liver, kidney and muscle), collected from various farms in regions associated with gold mining activities, revealed the presence of various amounts of methyl mercury, ethyl mercury, and elemental mercury, as well as cadmium, lead, chromium, copper, and zinc. Methyl mercury was highest in liver and kidney tissues. Some of the results are a cause of concern because they reveal presence and levels of pollutants in food samples that are above the limits recommended by World Health Organization. (IPICS ZIM:02) 5.2.2 RBM Logical Framework Follow-‐Up To monitor the outcomes required to fulfill ISP’s objectives a results based management (RBM) logical framework was established in 2012, with the ISP Strategic Plan 2013-‐2017. The expected outcomes and the performance indicators were further developed during the revision in Oct.-‐Nov. 2013 of ISP’s application to Sida, originally submitted in March 2012, and the logical framework was refined. The current version is given in the ISP Annual Report 2013. Indicator values were first calculated for 2011, but only for those indicators where data had already been collected. Indicator target values were proposed, based on the 2011 performance values, or set arbitrarily as reasonably as possible. The templates for the yearly activity reporting by research groups and networks were amended stepwise to allow for the collection of data needed to calculate the indicators, which has constituted an iterative process of development in 2014 and 2015. The performance indicators were not ready to be published in the Annual Report 2014. They were refined further in particular in 2015, and the values were calculated – in applicable cases – for 2014, 2015, and for the whole previous Sida agreement period 2008-‐2013, to give a more comprehensive picture of their variation and span over the years. In the Annual Report 2015, the first comprehensive presentation of the RMB-‐indicators was given, with some explanation of the rationale and reasoning behind the selection and it is here completed with the data of 2016 (Tables 7-‐11). Here, the outcome indicators are given (Tables 7-‐11) without repeating these considerations. Sida has selected a number of ISP’s performance indicators for their specific follow-‐up of ISP operation and results. These are particularly indicated below.

Figure 4. Distribution by program and region of scientific networks’ expenditures (%). Management of Expenditures Each group and network has a yearly allocation, decided by the ISP board after an application and assessment procedure involving the programs’ scientific reference groups. In this report, it is distinguished between expenditures carried out locally, after transfer of funds to a local account, and expenditures by payments to third parties carried out by ISP. In both cases, the transactions are formally requested by the accountable group leader or network coordinator, and should follow the budget for the use of funding for the year in question. Funds transferred for local use may not always be spent directly, and are to be accounted for each year. Whether it is feasible or not to manage funds locally depends on the local financial management system and the administrative competence of the local staff. Payments to third parties by ISP may for example be to companies, from which instruments were purchased, and to sandwich students’ subsistence in their host country, as well as to reimburse costs at the corresponding host institution. In total, 53% of the expenditures by research groups and networks were managed locally. The IPICS research groups managed totally 55% of expenditures locally, while 45% of expend-‐itures were executed by ISP payments (Figure 5). The single IPMS research group managed 69% of its expenditures locally, and 31% were managed by ISP. IPPS research groups managed 52% of their expenditures locally and 48% by ISP payments. In networks, those supported by IPICS managed in total 89% of their expenditures locally, and 11% by requesting ISP to carry out payments; those supported by IPMS spent half locally, and half by requesting ISP to carry out payments; and those supported by IPPS spent in total 23% locally, and 77% by requesting ISP to carry out payments (Figure 6). Considering regions, African research groups managed 51% of expenditures locally, and 49% were managed by ISP (Figure 7). African networks managed 61% locally, and 39% were managed by ISP. In Asia, research groups managed 65% of expenditures locally, and 35% were managed by ISP. Networks in Asia managed 58% locally, and 42% were managed by ISP.

In Latin America, IPICS-‐supported LANBIO managed 100% of their ISP funds locally, making up 12% of the total expenditures by networks in that region, while ISP managed all expenditures of IPPS-‐supported NADMICA, making up 88% of the total expenditures by networks in that region. The latter is explained by the fact that all NADMICA expenditures regarded students being trained in Sweden.

Considering support in Africa only, the share of expenditures managed locally is 53% in IPICS, 69% in IPMS, and 46% in IPPS research groups, respectively (Figure 8). In IPICS networks 96% of the funding was managed locally, whereas in both IPMS and IPPS networks about 50% of the funding was managed locally.

(RG – research groups, NW – scientific networks) Expenditures in relation to Swedish Focus Countries Research groups in Swedish focus countries (see Section 5.1.1) spent 85% of the total research group expenditures, while research groups in those Swedish focus countries that do not yet have a Sida bilateral agreement on research development cooperation spent 53% (Table 14). Research groups in non-‐focus countries (Laos, Myanmar and Zimbabwe) accounted for 15% of the total research group expenditures. Those in Laos, the physics group in Myanmar, and one research group in Zimbabwe (IPICS ZIM:02) were financed by Stockholm University funding, making up 39% of the expenditures in non-‐focus counties (Table 15).

(RG – research groups, NW – scientific networks) External Audits According to the current agreement with Sida, ISP shall subject grants to third parties exceeding SEK 284,000 to external audits. ISP interprets this to apply to grant allocations transferred for local management, because allocations managed by ISP on requests of research groups and networks are subject to separate audit as a part of yearly external audit of ISPs financial management, following Annex IV to the agreement. In consultation with the Executive Committee to the Board of ISP, this has been further clarified to apply to allocations transferred in excess of the limit amount during a year or a granting period (EC decision §7, 9 March 2015). In 2017, audits of local funds used in 2016 were requested from 21 research groups and networks (and, in some cases, from network nodes; Table 16). Seventeen of 21 requested audit reports were received timely. Two were not received in time,18 and two were postponed to the next year (but to include the year – or years – subject to the original request). The reasons for absent and postponed statements were in most cases difficulties in procuring an auditing service, in particular at a reasonable cost in relation to the amount to be audited. Only one of the received audit statements was approved in full, after review at ISP, whereas 17 statements were accepted with comments regarding needs of minor corrective measures in future audit exercises. No audit statement was disapproved. Table 16.

5.3 Staff, Students and Theses

5.3.1 Staff in Supported Activities In total, 810 staff members were reported to be involved in ISP-‐supported activities, 22% of them female (Table 8g). In all, 18% of the group leaders and network coordinators19 were female. IPICS groups and network reported 27% female staff members, and 26% female leaders, IPMS 20% female staff members and 25% female leaders, and IPPS 15% female staff members and 8% female leaders.

5.3.2 Students in Supported Activities In 2016, totally 1,031 postgraduate students were reported to be active in research groups and networks, benefitting directly or indirectly from ISP support (Table 6). Students may to various degrees enjoy ISP-‐funded support, or may be supported from other sources. Still, the ISP groups and networks make up the platform for the students’ training, and all reported students are accounted for here. Female students made up 29% of all reported students; 25% of those in Africa, 38% of those in Asia, and 71% of those in Latin America. There were 432 PhD students (26% of them female), including graduates (Table 6, Table 8h1). Of all PhD students, 112 (26%) were trained on a “sandwich” basis (37% of them female) (Figure 10). IPICS groups and networks reported 173 PhD students (of which 36% female), 45 on sandwich programs (51% female), and 128 on local programs (30% female).

5.4 Dissemination by Supported Activities

5.4.1 Publications In 2016, 39% of the 295 publications in scientific journals (Table 6, Table 19) were in journals listed on Web of Science, with Thomson Reuter impact factors. Another 11% were in journals listed in the Norwegian Register for Scientific Journals, Series and Publishers, indicating that, in all, 50% of the journal articles were in quality journals. In addition, 31 publications reported were book chapters, popular publications, etc. Table 19. Summary of publication data for 2016, per category and program. The number (No) of publications (Publ.) in scientific journals is specified to those with and without Thomson Reuters (TR) impact factors (IF), and in which cases ISP funding was acknowledged (Y) or not (N).

326 In Sections 5.4.2, 5.4.3 and 5.4.4, publications are detailed for each program, chemistry, mathematics and physics, and summarized in tables. The bibliographic data given is obtained directly from the reporting of the supported activities, with only minor editing. The code of the ISP-‐supported activity that is reporting the publication is given after each entry. All publications reported to ISP are listed, independent of whether the scientific work has been directly supported by ISP funding or not. In cases where the Digital Object Identifier (DOI) code is given, information can be accessed by adding the code to the web address http://dx.doi.org/. For publications in scientific journals (but not for other publications), green color marking of the code denotes that acknowledgement of ISP support is given in the paper.21

Furthermore the ISSN code of the publication is given, and when applicable two codes, in cases when the printed and the electronic issues have different codes. In all cases, each publication reported to ISP is never intentionally listed twice in the annual reports; if the electronic article is listed; the listing is not repeated when the printed version is published.

Scientific Quality Journals and Other Journals The publications are sorted by scientific journal, and where available the Thomson Reuters (TR) Impact Factor (IF) 2015 is given (with the 5-‐year Impact Factor within brackets).22 Journals listed with TR IF are here considered to be “scientific quality journals”.

From 2016, an additional quality measure is added, comprising the ranking in the Norwegian Register for Scientific Journals, Series and Publishers, maintained by the Norwegian Centre for Research Data (NCRD). Where available, the rank is given in brackets, between the journal name and any TR IF.

21 Directly or indirectly, e.g. also by acknowledging the research group or scientific network that is supported by ISP. 22 2015 InCitesTM Journal Citation Reports® Thomson Reuters, 2015, https://jcr.incites.thomsonreuters.com/JCRJournalHomeAction.action; see also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impact_factor

The Norwegian scale stretches from 0–2, where journals ranked at 0 are not classified as a scientific publication venue, those ranked at 1 being a scientific publication venue, and those at 2 standing for an extra prestigious scientific journal.23 The data given in Sections 5.4.1, 5.4.2 and 5.4.3 are based on search on journals’ ISSN. Where no rank is given, the ISSN was not recognized in the database. Journals ranked 1 or 2 are here considered to be “scientific quality journals”, while those ranked 0 and those not listed as “other journals”. The rank 0 implies that the journal has been considered by the Norwegian register team, and been disqualified, or has fallen in rank in relation to previous years.

In this report, articles in journals listed in Web of Science with TR IF or ranked at 1 or 2 in the Norwegian Register for Scientific Journals, Series and Publishers are regarded as published in scientific quality journals.

Acknowledgement of ISP ISP was acknowledged in 32% of the 295 articles in scientific journals; in 33% of the 115 publications in TR-‐listed “quality journals”, in 28% of the Norwegian Register quality journals, and in 32% of the 148 publications in “other journals”.

ISP was acknowledged in about 36% of the 154 chemistry papers reported (in 27% of the 62 “TR listed” ones and 41% of the 92 “TR unlisted” ones), in 12% of the 74 mathematics papers (in 17% of the 23 “TR listed” ones and in 10% of the 51 “TR unlisted” ones), and in about 46% of the 67 physics papers (in 57% of the 30 “TR listed” ones and in 41% of the 37 “TR unlisted” ones).

5.5 Outputs and Outcomes that were not achieved

This section briefly describes challenges encountered, gives a short account for influencing factors and issues, as well as opportunities and lessons learnt

5.5.1 ISP Level The publication of ISP’s Annual Report 2015 was delayed, and it was finally published on ISP’s web on 6 July 2016. The delay, however, was considerably less than previous years, much thanks to the intense work to calculate the RBM outcome indicators that was prioritized during the spring.

5.5.2 Supported Activity Level In the activity reports groups and networks are asked to mention any problems or challenges, which may have impeded or delayed their work. Even though the local conditions for research and postgraduate education vary between supported countries and also within countries, many bring up similar problems that put constrains on the daily work, development and progress of groups and networks. In the Annual Report 2015, the situation was analyzed in some detail based on the information provided in the submitted activity report. It remains similar in 2016.

143

SECTION 6: APPLICATIONS AND IMPACT

6.1 Use of Results and Knowledge

In this section, the use of research results is listed, as reported to ISP. The reported use may be in patents and products, in other applications including training, in using skills to influence policy, e.g. in government committees, and through technical development and services. The entries are used in RBM indicator “u”. They are listed country wise and then according to ISP research/network code. Abbreviations not explained here are found in Section 8.

6.1.1 Use of Research Results and Skills Bangladesh Under the leadership of Professor K S Rabbani, a telemedicine programme launched by the department as early as 2013, using its own technology for hardware and software, got momentum when a fund was made available from a Government-‐UNDP-‐USAID programme named ‘Access to Information’ in 2015, and towards the end of 2015, the university authorities agreed to name the project as, ‘Dhaka University Telemedicine Programme (DUTP)’. DUTP is gaining momentum, thanks to the innovative model based on entrepreneurship backed by a philosophy based motivation, software based monitoring, continuous assessment and effecting necessary modifications of the details. At the end of 2015, there were only 5 rural telemedicine centers while at the end of 2016, it increased to about 12, and in 2016, more than 3500 medical consultation with prescriptions were provided to rural patients in these centers. About 70% of the patients were women, children and the elderly. Thus catering for primary and secondary healthcare in the villages where there are no doctors, DUTP has been able to at least reduce the complications that one would face had no primary and secondary care been available near home. (IPPS BAN:04) The work on drinking water using solar pasteurization and low cost rainwater collector has of lately attracted people who can take these to a large segment of the population. A teacher of a private university, in collaboration with our department, distributed some units to families in the urban slums. This came out with good results, reducing the incidence of diarrhea, particularly among the children, and creating an interest in the people to use these devices regularly on their own. (IPPS BAN04) Bolivia Dr. Carlos F. Pinto stayed in Bolivia (mainly Sucre) for about 7 months, hired by USFX to participate in a committee whose main mandate is to develop four PhD programs (Biomedical Sciences, Biotechnology, Social Sciences and Business Administration). The following activities were undertaken: i) design of a curriculum for each program; ii) disseminate the information and engage students; iii) engage teachers (mainly foreign experts, most of them from Chile); iv) implement a virtual library, with access to ISI Web of Knowledge, v) develop a granting system for participants in the PhD program, so that they get funding for their research activities; vi) design and manage international agreements, and vii) apply to international collaborative projects. The programs and their developers have been described in the USFX webpage and they have also been interviewed by the media. Examples of relevant links:

(IPPS BUF:01) Ethiopia Part of the seismic network at the Institute of Geophysics, Space Science and Astronomy, (Addis Ababa University) has been upgraded to real-‐time system. This enables the monitoring of the geophysical environment closely on daily basis. Earthquakes also in other regions, as far as Indonesia, can be recorded and the researchers report the results to international data centers. This enabled the group to open up other front of collaborations with the international community. However, frequent power failure and internet outage have an impact on the real-‐time data flow. Because of this HARA and DESE stations beamed data intermittently this year. (IPPS ETH:02) Ivory Coast In 2015, the network designed and constructed a new version of a versatile optical microscope, with an emphasis on multispectral and multimodal modalities during a workshop held in Senegal. This version uses coherent and monochromatic illuminations and is fully automated. The participants were trained on this instrument and on optical signal processing with an emphasis on imaging systems. In 2016, the nodes have upgraded and used this new system for various applications including agricultural, environmental and biomedical. In addition, a new remote sensing system was built in Yamoussoukro to assess the mos-‐quito’s activities and forecast, against the background of the effort for mitigation the ravages of malaria. All the instrument that have been built during the past years within this network have been improved and used efficiently to tackle number of development issues in African Countries. (IPPS AFSIN) Kenya Development of an experimental prototype of a small-‐scale desalination system resulted in a patent.

SECTION 7: OTHER PROGRAMS AND EVENTS Besides the operating core program, reported in the previous sections, ISP carries out assignments by Sida, engages in collaboration with other bodies, disseminates results, creates opportunities for students, arranges and attends to seminars and meetings, and receives or participates in the reception of visitors and delegations.

7.1 Sida Assignments

By assignment by Sida, ISP is managing a number of activities related to the Sida bilateral programs for research cooperation. In 2016, these assignments comprised the coordination on the Swedish side of the programs with Ethiopia, Mozambique, Tanzania, and Uganda, and administrating the payments of subsistence allowance to participants in the bilateral programs with Bolivia, Ethiopia, Rwanda, Tanzania, and Uganda, while in Sweden.

7.1.1 Ethiopia ISP was in 2016 coordinating the Swedish side of the bilateral programme for research cooperation with Armauer Hansen Research Institute (AHRI) in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. This agreement includes four Swedish Universities: Uppsala University, Lund University, Karolinska Institute and Örebro University.

7.1.2 Mozambique The current Sida bilateral agreement with Universidad Eduardo Mondlane (UEM), Maputo, Mozambique, was signed in 2011. In October 2011, ISP was assigned to manage the Swedish coordination of the program, comprising 12 subprograms with collaborating partners in Sweden. The original agreement for this coordination, between Sida and ISP, covered the years 2011-‐2013, and in December 2013 it was extended to the period 2014-‐2015. The bilateral agreement was extended for 2016, and ISP’s coordination was also extended. About 100 students are being trained in Sweden. The Swedish institutions involved in 2016 were Chalmers, Gothenburg University, Karolinska Institute, Luleå Technical University, Lund University, Mälardalen University, Örebro University, the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH), Stockholm University, the Swedish Institute for Food and Biotechnology (SIK), the Public Health Agency of Sweden, the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU), Umeå University, and Uppsala University.

7.1.3 Tanzania In 2015, Tanzania entered into a new bilateral phase with Sida, covering support to three universities and one agency in Dar er Salaam; Univ. of Dar es Salaam (UDSM), Ardhi Univ. (ARU), and Muhambili Univ. Health and Allied Sciences (MUHAS), as well as the Tanzania Commission for Science and Technology (COSTECH). The agreement period is from 1 July 2015 to 30 June 2020. In August 2015, ISP signed an agreement with Sida for the coordination of the Swedish activities in this program. The Swedish partners involved in 2016 were Gothenburg Univ., Karolinska Institute, Linköping Univ., Lund Univ., the Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm Univ., the Swedish Research Council, the Swedish Univ. of Agricultural Sciences, Umeå Univ., and Uppsala Univ. The emphasis for this program phase is on the development of local PhD

170

programs in Tanzania. The number of PhD students to be trained in the framework of the program amounts to 126, including 14 students from the previous program phase. In addition, there are 55 MSc students to be trained, and 27 post-‐docs.

7.1.4 Uganda ISP is coordinating the bilateral programme for research cooperation with Uganda. This agreement includes five Ugandan universities (Makerere, Busitema, Kyambogo, Gulu and Mbarara University of Science and Technology). The Swedish institutions involved in 2016 were Gothenburg University, Linköping University, Uppsala University, Stockholm University, Royal Institute of Technology (KTH); Mälardalen University, Lund University, Chalmers Institute of Technology, University of Borås, Karolinska Institute and the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU).

7.1.5 Payment of Subsistence Allowances to Sida Bilateral Students ISP continued the Sida assignment to administer the payment of PhD student allowances and insurance costs for PhD students and postdocs who receive support from Sida in Swedish bilateral agreements on research cooperation with Bolivia, Ethiopia, Rwanda, Tanzania, and Uganda. This includes administration of payments of family/child allowances agreed in Sida’s program with Rwanda.

7.1.6 Student Activities On 21 October Sida and ISP jointly organized a seminar "Building future networks", at Sida in Stockholm. More than 80 students from the Sida bilateral programs and ISP's programs, from nine countries (Bolivia, Cambodia, Ethiopia, Kenya, Mozambique, Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda, and Zambia), gathered for a day of interesting talks, discussions and networking.

To an extent, students in bilateral programs, in particular those from Mozambique and Bolivia, were invited to participate in fellow evenings, arranged within the core program (see Section 7.2.5) when timely present in the Uppsala/Stockholm region.

171

7.2 Other activities

7.2.1 Strategic Activities In the fourth year of ISP’s work in accordance with its Strategic Plan 2013-‐2017, and the third year of work in the current Sida agreement period 2014-‐2018, the Executive Committee (in its meeting 1 March) established a strategy action plan, which in 2016 comprised the following fields of work. Many of the results given stem from activities initiated in previous years.

Continued work to promote gender equality

Gender equality projects in Uganda In the autumn 2015, ISP announced two grants (50,000 SEK each) for activities promoting gender balance at supported mathematics and physics groups and networks. On 17 Feb. 2016, the grants were awarded to Dr. Betty Nannyonga (Dept. Math., IPMS EAUMP node at Makerere University, Kampala Uganda) and Dr. Edward Jurua (IPPS UGA:02 group leader at Dept. Physics, MUST, Mbarara, Uganda). However, the very high quality of other applications inspired ISP to partially support activities at each of three other, shortlisted groups, which had shown to be very motivated in promoting gender equality. For this reason, ISP supported a physics training camp for female high school students in Tanzania. The training aimed at improving the recruitment of female students to the science programs of the university. The project was proposed jointly by the Depts. Physics and Mathematics at Univ. Dar es Salaam. Moreover, ISP offered two groups in Kenya sponsorships for the participation of one student/staff member to the summer school organized at Uppsala Univ. and described below.

The funds at Makerere University have been use to organized two workshops open to bachelor students, for positively influencing their choice toward natural science and mathematics for their major studies. The first workshop, “Gender equality activities in Basic Sciences – Strength-‐ening and supporting success of women in Basic Sciences”, was organized on 30 Apr. The participation was open to bachelor students. The other workshop, “Gender Equality in the Basic Sciences – Bridging the Gap”, was organized on 25 Oct. It attracted about 300 undergraduate students, filling the Main Hall of Makerere Univ. Female senior researchers in mathematics and physics from Stockholm Univ. and Univ. Nairobi gave lectures on the reasons behind, and problems with, the low number of women in science. Makerere Univ. staff and students shared their own experiences on the issues. Ugandan TV and radio was present to cover the event.

In Mbarara, the grant was used for an outreach program to three selected secondary schools in Western Uganda, for conducting a baseline survey and for organizing a conference. The aim of the school visits was to motivate more girls into pursing science careers. Before meeting the students, a survey was conducted in these schools using a simple questionnaire to establish the feelings and thoughts of the girls about science courses and careers. During the school visits, the girls were introduced to general sciences and why it is important to do science related courses before narrowing down to physics as a study area. Each school was visited two times. The first visit incorporated facilitators from different science fields and it served as a career guidance day. The second visit included motivational talks on physics, by female physicists and simple demonstration on application of Physics in real life. After the School visits and baseline survey, a conference was organized to discuss challenges women face in science, and possible solutions. The conference was based on the findings of the school visits and the survey. The participants were drawn from selected secondary schools in Western Uganda, from universities, and includ-‐ed students who completed BSc and had not continued with postgraduate studies, graduates of science, science lecturers, and the MUST WIST (Women in Science and Technology) group.

Summer school in Uppsala On 26 January 2016, the UU Vice Chancellor awarded ISP 80 kSEK to the project “Promoting for career advancement in basic science through mentorships and training”, submitted to the UU Council for Equal Opportunities. The funds were used in to invite five female students or re-‐searchers from supported groups to participate in a summer school,“Diversity in the cultures of Physics”, organized by ISP and the Dept. Physics and Astronomy at Uppsala Univ. together with the Dept. Physics at Freie Universität Berlin, Germany. The school ran over whole August, but the ISP participants took part only in the last two weeks in Uppsala. Two if the five ISP particip-‐ants were one each from the groups that were awarded ISP gender grant (IPPS UGA:02 and the IPMS EAUMP Uganda node). The remaining were one student and one staff member from the IPPS groups in Kenya that submitted a very good applications (IPPS KEN:01/2 and KEN:04), and one staff member from Kenya sponsored separately by her research group (IPPS KEN04). The school included study visits to scientific teams in Uppsala and Stockholm, lectures, seminars and workshops about Physics, and gender theory and practice. Two of the ISP participants also gave lectures about their scientific work and their life experiences.

Spending two weeks together in Uppsala gave the participants the opportunity to get to know each other and start to discuss common experiences and activities. The participants continued to keep in touch, and the one of the participants from University of Nairobi contributed to the workshop organized at Makerere University in Oct. The summer school can be considered as the start of a new ISP network among female students and staff of supported groups and networks.

researchers alike to easily find documentation and tools to increase their capacity. (http://www.idea-‐phd.net/index.php/en/) (For detailed information about dissemination, presentations, and arranged meetings, see Sections 7.2.3 and 7.2.5) Fund-‐raising and other supplementary funding Co-‐funding of supported activities In 2017, data on in kind contributions/co-‐funding of supported research groups and scientific networks in 2016 was successfully received for the second time, and accounted for in the Annual Report. ISP Fund raising group and committee A Fund raising group comprising Cecilia Öman, Fredrik Åkerblom (UU Central Administration), Rebecca Andersson and Peter Sundin was formed, to meet regularly to advance work. The group had nine meetings in 2016. Cecilia Öman initiated an ISP “Philantropic and Grants Networking Committee”, including the resource persons attending the visibility event in Nairobi 2 December (see Section 7.2.4; Arranged seminars and meetings). ISP “case for support” A consultant was engaged to assist in the development of an ISP “Case for support” document, and to contribute to the Fund raising group. Scientific capacity enhancement Already in the proposals to Sida 2008, it was suggested that ISP introduces common activities to the program regarding:

• Training on research management • Training on how to write research proposals and reports • Training on how to write scientific papers

The Sida agreement and contribution 2008-‐2010 (extended to 2013), however, didn’t allow for such a development. In the Strategic Plan 2013-‐2017, though, this quality enhancement issue is again addressed, and with the recruitment of Cecilia Öman, having long experience of giving such training, the activity could be revived. In 2016 it was decided to apply scientific quality enhancing training packages, in particular in the fields of research methodology, research proposal writing, and scientific paper writing, and offer to supported partners. Cecilia Öman gave the following interactive training seminars in 2016:

• 160118: On functioning advanced scientific equipment, to faculty members at the National University of Laos, Vientiane, Laos.

• 160121: On functioning advanced scientific equipment, to faculty members at the Royal University of Phnom Penh, Phnom Penh, Cambodia.

• 160125: On the scientific method and research funding, to ISP leaders at Dhaka Univ. and Bangladesh Univ.of Engineering and Technology, Dhaka, Bangladesh.

• 160517: On the scientific method and publishing scientific results, to faculty members at University of Ouagadougou, Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso.

• 160518: On Scientific research methodology and Developing a research proposal, to members of the IPICS MAL:01 group at University of Sciences, Techniques and Technologies, Bamako, Mali.

• 160926: On the scientific method and research funding, to faculty members at Makerere University, Kampala, Uganda.

• 160927: On publishing scientific results, to faculty members at Makerere University, Kampala, Uganda.

• 161005: On the scientific method and research funding, to faculty members at University of Nairobi, Kenya, Nairobi.

• 161005: On publishing scientific results and research communication, to faculty members at University of Nairobi, Kenya, Nairobi.

• 160930: On the scientific method and research funding, to faculty members at Addis Ababa University, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

• 160930: On research methods and tools, to faculty members at Addis Ababa University, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

• 160930: On publishing scientific results, to faculty members at Addis Ababa University, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

• 161005: On publishing scientific results and scientific communication, to faculty members at University of Nairobi, Kenya, Nairobi.

• 161202: On ethics and structure, Cross-‐cultural partnerships, and outcome evaluation planning. at the ISP event in connection with the PACN conference in Nairobi, Kenya (see Section 7.2.4)

Certificate of cooperation with former ISP partners Certificates to 24 former partners In the Strategic Plan 2013-‐2017, it is proposed as part of the exit strategy to introduce a certificate of collaboration after the final year of support. The certificate will report the funding provided and the results achieved. It may facilitate the attraction of new funding. There is a demand among former ISP partners for such a document. In April, certificates were provided to all groups and networks phased out of support 2003-‐2014, with which contact could be established and that had responded to the offer of such a document. Out of 46 activities, 32 responded and 24 requested a certificate. They were distributed April -‐ May.

7.2.2 Collaboration Al Baha University

In 2016, ISP continued cooperation under the “Service Contract of Academic Support between Al Baha University (ABU), Saudi Arabia, and Uppsala University, International Science Programme (ISP), Sweden”; Service Contract Specification 2014-‐2017. In January, a new PhD student from ABU was received, Mr. Fayiq Alghamdi, to pursue his postgraduate studies at the UU Dept. Information Technology. During 5-‐9 May, Olle Terenius and Peter Sundin traveled to Saudi Arabia to follow up on the further development of the cooperation with ABU, and to pay a visit to the Swedish Ambassador, Mr, Dag Juhlin, in Riyadh. During 11-‐13 Dec., ISP hosted a delegation from ABU, visiting UU.
