Describe
briefly how you will measure your results
(in short and longer
|
|
|
term)to
know if your project has been successful.
|
|
|
(You
must provide detailed assessment measures
in paragraph 19)
|
|
|
The result is evaluated
through measuring how many national scale
Grid projects are
|
|
|
initiated
in APEC.

How,
briefly, this project responds to the priorities
set by APEC Leaders and
|
| |
Ministers,
as evidenced by parts of the APEC Action
Agenda including Action
|
| |
Program,
work plan, vision statement, and policy statement
that related to
|
| |
this
project.
|
| |
The
importance of competitive and efficient information
infrastructure development has
|
| |
already been
recognized at the various levels of APEC. That
includes The Vancouver
|
| |
Framework
for Enhanced Public-Private Partnerships in
Infrastructure Development
|
| |
(attachment
to APEC Leaders' Declaration, 25 November 1997).
|
| |
|
| |
In
Seoul Declaration of May 1995, the leaders
defined the five objectives of APII to
|
| |
strengthen
cooperation in every level. Five objectives
were facilitating the construction
|
| |
and expansion
of an interconnected and interoperable information
infrastructure in the
|
| |
region; encouraging
technical cooperation among the member economies
in the
|
| |
development
of the infrastructure; free promotion and efficient
flow of information;
|
| |
furthering
the exchange and development of human resources;
and encouraging the
|
| |
creation of
a policy and regulatory environment that favorable
to the development
|
| |
of the Asia
Pacific Information Infrastructure.
|
| |
|
| |
In
Mexico Declaration of October 1998, the ministers
encouraged APEC to support
|
| |
partnerships
and networks for Science and Technology Industry
Cooperation in the
|
| |
21st century.
As action items, clause 1, 2, 5 emphasize the
formation and strengthen
|
| |
of networks
in specific areas of Science & Technology
(S&T) across APEC.
|
| |
|
| |
In
the vision of APEC Agenda for Science and Technology
Industry Cooperation
|
| |
into the
21st century, it is described that the successful
development of application
|
| |
and commercialization
of industrial science and technology will depend
upon the ability
|
| |
of APEC economies.
To create strong open innovation systems and
to work
|
| |
cooperatively
to catalyze the development of strong sustainable
regional S&T networks
|
| |
and partnership.
|
| |
|
| |
Moreover,
the Ministers' Declaration of Manila stated:
Giving priority APEC joint activities
|
| |
to harness
technologie for the future expanding
the capacities of its members
|
| |
to absorb
existing industrial science and technology,
and also developing
new
|
| |
technologies
for the future to promote a free flow of information and
technology.
|
| |
|
| |
This
project is designated to respond directly to
the needs established by the APEC
|
| |
Leaders and
Ministers. It will be developed and invested
in sharing the information
|
| |
infrastructures
to narrow the technological gap in the science
and technologies
|
| |
on telecommunications
sector and finally attain sustainable growth
and balanced
|
| |
development
in the region.
|
| |
|
| |
Through
this project, the goal of balanced development
of the Asia Pacific Information
|
| |
Society will
be achieved rapidly since it meets the needs
of the developing
|
| |
economies
to access high performance R&D resources
cost-effectively.
