U.S. National Academies Call for Application: Arab-American Frontiers Symposium in partnership with Masdar Institute, Nov 5-7, 2016

24 May 2016

The U.S. National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, and Masdar Institute of Science and Technology are pleased to announce the Fourth Arab American Frontiers of Science, Engineering and Medicine Symposium. The upcoming meeting will be hosted in Abu Dhabi on November 5 to 7, 2016 by Masdar Institute, in partnership with Khalifa University, NYU Abu Dhabi and Petroleum Institute. The call for applications is now open and scientists, engineers and medical professionals from the U.S. and the Arab region are invited to submit their application online before the deadline of June, 30, 2016.

This program brings together outstanding young scientists, engineers, and medical professionals, between the ages of 30 and 45, from the United States and the 22 countries of the Arab League for a series of symposia to discuss exciting advances and opportunities in their fields. The goal of these meetings is to enhance scientific exchange and dialogue among young researchers in Arab countries and the United States, including the Arab science diaspora, and through this interaction facilitate research collaboration within and beyond the region.

We strongly encourage young scientists, engineers and medical professionals working on related research to apply to this truly pluri-disciplinary meeting, as long as they fulfill the eligibility criteria. Each general participant will also have the opportunity to present his or her research during poster sessions. More details on the fourth symposium, organization and program can be found here.
