Doha is hosting the 18th Islamic World Academy of Sciences (IAS) Conference under the theme “The Islamic World and the West: Rebuilding Bridges through Science and Technology.”
The three-day event (22 – 24 October) aims at discussing the impact of the current events in the Islamic World and ascertains how they interact with the S&T scene.
It also intends to address a number of recurring questions on the History of Islamic Science and Science and Spirituality besides issues that are at the science/politics interface including nuclear energy, biotechnology and nanotechnology and to develop an OIC-wide approach on how such issue may be addressed.
Participants will as well review ways to bridge the divide between the Islamic World and the West, and the particular role that academies of sciences can play in such an endeavor, IAS Secretary-General Dr. Munif Zoubi told Qatar News Agency.
He praised Qatar’s hosting of this year’s event, saying this stems from the role being played by Qatar in holding a dialogue on the international level and its great experience in organizing a number of important and successful conferences.
