Standing Committee for Scientific and Technological Cooperation (COMSTECH) is one of four standing committees of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation dedicated to the promotion and cooperation of science and technology activities among the OIC member states.
== Foundation == COMSTECH was established by the OIC's Islamic Summit in Mecca on 1981 and comprises the OIC member states for the sake of building on indigenous capabilities in science and technology, promotion and cooperation in relevant areas, and establishment of institutional structure for planning and development at Ummah level.
== Objectives == Their stated objectives are:
Assessment of the human and material resources of OIC member states and determination of science and technology needs and requirements. Building up the indigenous capability of member states in the fields of science and technology through cooperation and mutual assistance. Promotion of cooperation and coordination amongst the member states in science and technology. Creation of an effective institutional structure of planning, research and development and monitoring of science and technology activities in high technology areas.
== Inter-Library Resource Network == The Inter-Library Resource Network Service is a programme that networks libraries of the OIC member states, requiring all member institutions to provide free access to the users of other members. In 2007 the journal holdings of 45 libraries from 15 OIC members had been networked, and the same figures were reported in early 2009. As of 2009, COMSTECH lists the following 48 libraries as part of the network:
