As announced
yesterday during the Spirit of Salam Award presentation, and as
a further memorial to Karim in honor of his many years of
dedication and service to ICTP, we have launched - as part of
our fundraising efforts - a campaign to support the Abdelkrim
"Karim" Aoudia Memorial Scholarship Fund. As noted by our
Director, Prof. Adnan Shihab-Eldin has pledged to match the
first €30,000 of our €300,000 goal. Once this goal
is reached, the scholarship will be awarded in Karim's name
annually and in perpetuity to an Earth Systems Physics or other
diploma student from Africa or the Middle East.
If you are interested in donating or if you could share with
those in your network who may wish to contribute, donations can
be made via the ICTP/UNESCO PayPal here. Please choose Supporting
Students from Developing Countries and write "for Prof. Karim"
in the notes section. If you prefer, you may also speak directly
with Amy or Sabrina to arrange a donation.
Thank you!
