In 2003, NIHERST conceptualised a project called Caribbean Icons in Science, Technology and Innovation (STI). This project set out to record and honour the invaluable contribution of our scientists to national, regional and, in some cases, international developments in their respective fields. It also aimed to provide role models to inspire bugging scientists in the school system.

The project has culminated in the production of several publications, a DVD and a website that documents the lives of many of the Caribbean’s finest.
