Scientific paper

This talk will elaborate upon the concept of Third World Astronomy Network (TWAN) discussed at an earlier IAU meeting. TWAN is suggested as a way of improving the level of teaching, research and development in Astronomy and Astrophysics (A&A) in developing nations. Networking of astronomers in these countries with fast e-mail / internet connection and a few selected institutions serving as nodes are proposed. A range of activities may be carried out within the network. These are briefly outlined and the budgetary aspects described.
