|
The Fourth Symposium on Scientific
Research Outlook in the Arab World (SRO IV) is a
bi-annual conference sponsored and organized by the Arabic
Science and Technology Foundation (ASTF) in
Cooperation with Bibliotheca Alexandrina . The main
goals of the conference are to:
- Activate the role of scientific research and
technological development to alleviate the relative
lack of knowledge in the Arab World, which is among
the main hurdles in the face of scientific achievement
and human development.
- Assess the performance of the Arabic scientific
community, pinpoint its weaknesses, and suggest
adequate solutions.
- Encourage investing in the scientific and
technical sectors and build bilateral ties between the
scientific research institutions and investors in the
Arabic region.
- Encourage Arab researchers and scientists to
conduct specialized research activities, especially in
the fields that are prioritary for the Arab world, and
identify exemplary experiences to further develop them
and exploit them for the best scientific interest of
the Arab world.
