About the Forum
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.
The fourth annual Arab Forum of Science and Media Communication is set to take place in collaboration with the University of Sharjah in the United Arab Emirates, from February 5th to 6th, 2023. The theme for this edition is ‘From Research to Engagement: Advancing Communication.‘ We have curated an exciting lineup of virtual and on-site events and activities, including some exclusive sessions hosted at the University of Sharjah.

The scientific community stands on three pillars: science, technology, and society. Science is the foundation upon which technology is built, and it is the advancement of technology that enables the development and progress of science. Nevertheless, the triumph of this interdependent relationship relies heavily on society's comprehension and acknowledgment of science's significance.
