The Arab Forum of Science Media and Communication is the first event of its kind to be held in the Arab region, gathering those who are interested in the fields of media and scientific communication in the Arab region.

The annual Forum aims to bring together science journalists, science communicators, researchers and scientists to exchange ideas and thoughts and empower the science communication industry in MENA. Also, we are gathering government, private sector and non-governmental organizations dedicated to media and science communication, as well as university students studying media, journalism, and science.

AFSMC 2025 is a hybrid experience, offering both in-person and virtual participation. It’s scheduled January 27 and 28, 2025, and will feature in-person activities and sessions at the University of Sharjah in the United Arab Emirates on January 27. These in-person events will also be broadcast online.

On January 28, the event will transition to entirely virtual sessions, providing flexibility for attendees to participate from anywhere in the region.
