Considerations for LeAP projects

  • Promoting S&T should also build public trust in science through transparent, ethical communication.
  • Assistance projects should apply scientific approaches responsibly, with sensitivity to cultural and ethical contexts.
  • Environmental endeavors should emphasize sustainability science and participatory governance.
  • Youth empowerment may incorporate scientific literacy and participatory governance.
