TWAS @Trieste Next - ROUND TABLE SCIENCE DIPLOMACY - Thur 21 Sept at 18:00 - Museo Revoltella via Diaz 27

[Infopoint]

Dear Colleagues

it is with great pleasure that we'd like to invite you to the round 
table that TWAS has organized for the 2017 edition of TRIESTE NEXT.

The title of the event is:

*SCIENCE DIPLOMACY: A BRIDGE OVER TROUBLED WATERS*

The Mediterranean basin is a cradle where about 500 million people share 
resources, cultures, needs. Cooperation between South and North is most 
needed, here. Could Science Diplomacy be the bridge that links people 
and nations, easing joint actions on the most urgent issues (water, 
climate change, overcrowding, education, brain drain)?

Four international panelists will offer different perspectives and views 
on these hot topics.
They are:

*Thameur Chaibi* - TWAS Fellow - Director of Research
National Research Institute for Rural Engineering, Water, and Forestry, 
Ariana, Tunisia
“The Future of Water Scarcity in North Africa: Moving from Challenges to 
Opportunities”

*Nadia Pinardi* - Professor - Department of Physics and Astronomy, Alma 
Mater  Studiorum University of Bologna
"Operational oceanography to achieve the UN ocean sustainable 
development goals"

*Jauad El Kharraz* - Head of Research - The Middle East Desalination 
Research Center (MEDRC), Al Khuwair, Sultanate of Oman
“The role of joint programs and networks to boost cooperation on the 
major challenges of the Mediterranean region”

*Tugba Evrim Maden* - Hydropolitics Researcher - Expert Turkish Water 
Institute (SUEN), " Water Diplomacy in MENA: Opportunities and 
challenges in the Euphrates and Tigris Basin"

21 September at 18:00 - @ Museo Revoltella - via Diaz 27 Trieste
Free entrance.
