Experts Forum on Science and Technology Management for Legislators
This was initiated by NACETEM in 2006 as a platform for members of S&T subcommittees of the National Assembly to rub minds with professionals and academics, for better insights into the STI System.
During the forum, participants will be exposed to issues relating to S&T policy formulation and evaluation, funding and budgeting for S&T, monitoring and control, and forging partnership with international organisations for S&T development, among others.
The 2009 edition of the Forum which features resource persons from FMST agencies and parastatals, Parliamentary office of Science and Technology (POST), UK, and Technology Planning and Development Unit (TPDU), OAU Ile-Ife, took place between 30th of April to 2nd of May 2009.

S&T Policy Dialogue for State Ministries
Upon the successful hosting of the Experts Forum, the need to mount a similar programme for STI managers in the States was recommended by the participants. To effect this request, NACETEM organises the Science, Technology and Innovation Policy Dialogue for Managers of STI in cognate State Ministries.
The STI Dialogue provides STI managers and technocrats at the State level the opportunity of rubbing minds with professionals and academia, thereby gaining insight into the workings of the STI system and how it should be managed.
The maiden edition took place in November 2007. The attendance was not as high as we anticipated. The next is scheduled to hold in March 2010 and we look forward to participation of all states and local governments.
