The Science and Technology Center in Ukraine (STCU) is an inter-governmental, non-profit organization that creates and implements programs and activities to more effectively assist former weapon scientists and institutes from Azerbaijan, Georgia, Republic of Moldova, Ukraine, and Uzbekistan, in developing their skills and capabilities to support themselves without direct STCU assistance from its donor governments (European Union, Ukraine, and USA). STCU prepares and guides the recipient scientists and technicians to make the most out of their research, whether it results in commercially viable products or continuing research funding interest outside the STCU, and it encourages them to develop long-term relationships with private sector and/or governmental partners. In collaboration with UNODA, the STCU organizes an international meeting for the purpose of sharing effective practices in redirection of former weapons scientists worldwide toward non-prohibited applications of science as well as responsible conduct of research.
