ISri Lanka, iNational Science Foundation (NSF)

I-National Science Foundation (NSF) yasungulwa njengohlaka olusemthethweni ngo-1998 njengomlandeli we-Natural Resources Energy & Science Authority (NARESA), ngoMthetho wePhalamende laseSri Lanka. Imisebenzi yeSisekelo ukuqala, ukwenza lula kanye nokusekela ucwaningo lwesayensi oluyisisekelo nolusetshenziswa ososayensi emanyuvesi, ezikhungweni zocwaningo kanye nezimboni ngokuklonyeliswa kwezibonelelo zocwaningo. Ihlose ukuqinisa amandla ocwaningo lwesayensi, ukuthuthukisa izinsiza zemvelo, ukukhuthaza inhlalakahle yabantu, kanye nokuqeqesha abasebenzi bocwaningo.

ISisekelo siphinde sikhuthaze ukushintshana kolwazi lwesayensi phakathi kososayensi baseSri Lanka nakwamanye amazwe ngokushicilelwa kwamajenali aphambili nokuhlela imihlangano yokufundisana/imihlangano/amasemina. Iklomelisa ngemifundaze kanye nobudlelwano bomsebenzi wesayensi, igcina irejista ephelele yedatha yezinsiza zesayensi nezobuchwepheshe e-Sri Lanka futhi isebenza ekwandiseni isayensi emphakathini jikelele ngoxhaso lwezinhlelo zaleyo njongo. Isikhungo sokubuka ubuchwepheshe, esizibandakanya nezifundo zokubona izinto kusengaphambili, sisakaza ulwazi mayelana nentuthuko yezobuchwepheshe futhi sikhuthaze ukusebenzisana kwemboni nenyuvesi, sitholakala kwa-NSF. Ngaphezu kwalokho, i-NSF isebenza njengendawo okugxilwe kuyo kuzwelonke emigwaqweni eminingi yesayensi yaphesheya kwezilwandle futhi ibuye ibe nendlela yokusebenza njengenhlangano eqhubayo noma edidiyelayo yokusebenzelana kwesayensi phakathi kwezinhlangano zasekhaya nezamazwe ngamazwe.
