As promised, the Society for the Advancement of Science and Technology in the Arab World (SASTA) is thrilled to announce the official release of the post-conference report for the highly successful Global Conference for Diaspora Networks in Science 2022 (GCDNS22).
GCDNS22, a gap-bridging invitational that took place virtually from the 21st to the 23rd of September 2022, brought together expert speakers from over 35 different nationalities, representing all six habitable continents. This remarkable global gathering aimed to foster collaboration, inclusivity, and innovation in the field of science and technology.
Eminent speakers included Professor Farouk El-Baz, the Director Emeritus of the Center for Remote Sensing at Boston University and ex-NASA supervisor, Dr. Allan Goodman, the CEO of the Institute of International Education, and Mr. Declan Kirrane, the Coordinator at the African-European Radio Astronomy Platform.
