Dear Colleagues,

South Centre, the Geneva-based intergovernmental organization of the
developing countries (with over 50 Member Countries) working on issues,
among others, related to trade, finance, IPRs, internet governance,
climate
change and global governance, has launched the Intellectual Network for
the
South (INSouth).

See http://www.INSouth.org

The key objective of the INSouth.org is to draw attention to South-South
institutions and
individuals in developing countries who are working on issues currently
under
debate and negotiations in the international policy arena, including on
Trade,
IP issues, Climate Change, and others.

The network focuses on intergovernmental organizations and think tanks,
south-south cooperation agreements, and eminent intellectuals and
negotiators from the global South to provide a platform where research and
analysis, and commentaries coming out from these sources gets highlighted
to build bridges between the Northern and the Southern perspectives on
wide
ranging issues.

INSouth.org also welcomes intellectuals amongst developing and developed
countries be it from academic, research, media, NGOs or international
development or diplomatic commmunity to register with it, so that joint
North-South projects, partnerships and dialogues can be initiated through
this platform.

We are also looking for partners who can support and build up this
initiative. Your suggestions and feedback are most welcome.

Best regards,
Vikas Nath
Head - Media and Communications
