Abstract
The Science and Technology Center of Ukraine (STCU) is an intergovernmental organization, the first of its kind, established in Ukraine by an Agreement signed on October 15, 1993, by four founding Parties: Ukraine, Canada, Sweden and the United States of America. The signed Agreement was put into force by Presidential decree # 202 of May 4, 1994. The STCU began work on its first organizational steps in November 1994, and became fully registered in Ukraine on February 14, 1995. Its main purpose, as stated in the Agreement, is as follows:
-
to support research and development (R & D) activities by Ukrainian scientists and engineers, formerly involved with weapons of mass destruction and their means of delivery, as part of the general process of conversion from a largely centralised military planning environment to a civilian, market-driven, competitive environment more useful for Ukraine.
