Science and Technology Education for Sustainable Development in the Arab Region
Registration in now Closed.


The World Academy of Sciences for the advancement of science in developing countries' Arab Regional Office (TWAS-ARO) held its 9th Annual Meeting, 29-30 December 2013, at the Bibliotheca Alexandrina. On the occasion of its annual meeting, an inter-disciplinary forum on Science and Education held under the theme: Science and Technology Education for Sustainable Development in the Arab Region.

This forum intended to bring together TWAS-ARO members and young affiliates, along with other distinguished speakers, to highlight the linkages between science, technology and society, through discussing issues related to quality, relevancy, and equity in the Arab countries' education systems which are essential to provide a generation that can face future challenges.

With the Arab Spring and public movements in different Arab countries seeking political and social change, education reform must be one of the building blocks in the new Middle East. More than one-third of the population in the Arab world is under the age of 15 years and either currently enrolled in, or about to join the education system. Education will therefore play a key role in preparing the millions of young people in democratizing States to become well-informed participants in their localities, governments, and the global community.

As scientific research is an important tool for the social development of any country, TWAS-ARO continued its support for young Arab researchers by holding a poster session where they can showcase their researches related to the theme. TWAS-ARO sponsored 10 outstanding young researchers, from different Arab countries, to present their projects/researches on the Science and Technology Education for Sustainable Development in the Arab Region.
