Over the course of two days, the conference will bring together leading scholars researching climate change topics, green economy, sustainable development, and the concept of “Higher Education for Sustainable Development.” It will also include university administrators implementing the “green university” concept, research and educational programs in the field of climate change and transition to a…
What role does science play in helping humanity navigate major challenges? How can we leverage basic science research in a way that maximizes benefit for humankind and advances progress for all? To answer these questions, the International Year of Basic Sciences for Sustainable Development (IYBSSD) encourages exchanges between scientists and groups from a wide range…
El cambio climático es un problema global que afecta a todo el planeta, y su solución requiere de un enfoque interdisciplinario y de una comprensión profunda de los procesos científicos que lo causan. Es aquí donde desde etapas tempranas de la educación, la enseñanza STEM (Ciencia, Tecnología, Ingeniería y Matemáticas) cobra relevancia, pues los estudiantes…
@LatinXChem is a virtual forum through which the community of Latin American chemists anywhere in the world can share and discuss their research results and advances. Between the three previous editions, 2020, 2021, and 2022, more than 3,000 posters from 43 countries were received, with 20 million impacts on Twitter. This initiative seeks to give…
Breaking Barriers, Inspiring Scientific Excellence The African Institute of Mathematical Sciences (AIMS), with the support of the Henry Luce Foundation (HLF), announces today the launch of the Africa Science Week (ASW) of the Next Einstein Forum (NEF), which will take place simultaneously in 10 African countries from 19th to 28th of June 2023.

This initiative seeks to disseminate crystallography and X-ray techniques, especially powder diffraction, in the Latin American scientific-technological community. It also seeks to orient research supported by crystallographic methods toward the SDGs, mainly promoting quality education. In its first edition, this initiative seeks to train (mainly junior) Latin American researchers so that from a scientific approach,…
Africa is dotted by more than 150 known volcanoes, some of which are dormant while many are active. Several others are extinct, eroded, and in remote areas. Some may even be in yet unknown volcanic fields or buried below younger formations. The large majority of these volcanoes have been scarcely studied as regards their eruptive…
Asia-Pacific School and Workshop on Gravitation and Cosmology(APSW-GC) is a series of annual activities, which takes place in the Asia-Pacific region. It aims to promote understanding of frontier issues in gravitation and cosmology, to introduce and propose challenging problems to young physicists. The Asia-Pacific School and Workshop on Gravitation and Cosmology 2023 will take place…
The Centre’s Cancer research track, led by Professor Mansurah Abdulazeez, is officially closing one of its National Research Fund (NRF) grant and aims to do this by sensitizing the public on its findings, the significance of basic science to research, and how the groups’ research contributes to the progress towards SDGs. The need to tackle…
In March 2023, the Shanghai Astronomy Museum completed the largest renovation and upgrade in its history, taking more than two years to complete. The main building was completely surveyed and restored, the 40 cm binocular refractor telescope and dome, built in 1901 and once the largest optical astronomy telescope in the Far East, were successfully restored…
