The National Science and Technology Commission (NASTEC) is the apex body for science, technology, and innovation policy in Sri Lanka. Established by an Act of Parliament, NASTEC’s primary role is to advise the government on policy formulation and support the coordination and promotion of scientific research across the nation.
NASTEC’s library and resource center offer policy documents, research papers, and publications related to science and technology, providing a resource-rich environment for policymakers, researchers, and students. The library’s focus on policy research and technology assessments makes it an essential resource for understanding Sri Lanka’s science and technology landscape, guiding stakeholders in strategic decision-making processes.
what is the role of NASTEC
NASTEC, or Naval Air Systems Test and Evaluation Center, is a US Navy facility responsible for testing and evaluating naval aircraft and their associated systems. Its primary role is to ensure the safety, effectiveness, and reliability of these systems before they are deployed operationally.
NASTEC conducts a range of activities, including flight testing, ground testing, and engineering and logistics support. The center’s objective is to provide unbiased, impartial, and objective evaluations of naval aircraft and systems, ultimately contributing to the development and acquisition of effective and safe naval aviation capabilities.
