<P>Background=20
<P>The United Nations, in cooperation with the European Space Agency,=20
initiated in 1990 the organization of annual Workshops on Basic Space =

under the auspices of the Programme on Space Applications of the =
United=20
Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs. These Workshops, focusing on =
planetary=20
exploration and astronomy, have been held in India (1991) and Sri =

for Asia and the Pacific, Costa Rica (1992) and Honduras (1997) for =
Central=20

Germany (1996) and France (2000) for Europe.=20
<P>Among the projects identified to stimulate the participation of the =
developing countries in basic space science, the World Space =
Observatory (WSO)=20
has been initiated as a project, which could contribute in an =
important way in=20
the stimulation of participation in space activities. The combination =
of such=20

aspects=20
of the understanding of the structure and evolution of the Universe. =
The=20
participation in experimental sciences may be more important for a =
sustainable=20
development process in the pre-industrial countries than theoretical=20
investigations. As a consequence the programme will concentrate on =
those=20
aspects of the current state of knowledge about the structure and =
evolution of=20
the Universe, which need effective new observational material. Through =
this it=20
is expected that new venues will be identified to accelerate the =

of developing countries in basic space science, including the =
