TWAS Arab Regional Prize 2018
The TWAS Arab Regional Prize 2018 for Science Diplomacy will honor teams or individuals who have collaborated on a trans-boundary research project contributing to, or made possible by, good international relations. The aim is to begin to bring the term 'Science Diplomacy' to the attention of both the research and diplomatic communities in developing countries.
The focus on successful regional technical and research cooperation is seen as a way of building trust between the various stakeholders.
Each TWAS Regional Prize winner/s will receive a USD 3,000 cash award.
TWAS will ensure that winners of the prize (every four years) are nominated for the AAAS Science Diplomacy Prize.
