Introduction

The Alliance of National and International Science Organizations for the Belt and Road Regions (ANSO) is a non-profit, non-governmental international organization founded in 2018. Founding members include the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) and 36 other scientific institutions, universities, and international organizations worldwide. ANSO aims to improve regional and global capacity in science and technology, human livelihoods and wellbeing, and to promote broader S&T cooperation and communication.

Background

In 2013, Chinese President XI Jinping proposed the “Belt and Road” Initiative, making great contributions to international cooperation, global common prosperity and human progress, serving as a Chinese Plan for building a community of shared future for the mankind. The countries in the Belt and Road Region are confronted with many common challenges, such as climate change, eco-environment and resources problems, natural disasters, emerging and infectious diseases and food security issues. In order to solve these common challenges, there should be united actions toward science-based solutions to promote common development and prosperity in this region.
