Arab Science Symposium
The #ASSG25 Symposium is a one-day event bringing together scholars, professionals, and practitioners to explore how sciences, engineering, and innovation are more than ever invited to address today’s global challenges. This year, we focus on the role of migrant communities in advancing host countries and facilitating knowledge transfer to their countries of origin.
The symposium features plenary panel discussions, parallel sessions of invited talks and horizon talks, interactive workshops, and a poster session—fostering interdisciplinary dialogue across health, engineering, humanities, and societal transformation.
Shared Vision
The symposium aims to bridge the cultural and scientific divides between Germany and the Arab world, fostering a harmonious environment where knowledge and expertise converge.
Scientific Collaboration
The symposium is a catalyst for fostering lasting scientific collaborations between Arab-German scientists. The connections formed during the symposium will pave the way for future joint research projects, international collaborations, and the exchange of scientific knowledge.
Open Dialogue
Through plenary sessions, panel discussions, and flash talks for early-career researchers, scientists have the opportunity to share their latest research findings, engage in lively discussions, and experience other perspectives.
Tech Power
The symposium does not only focus on scientific research but also on the integration of innovative technologies to enhance the research process and accelerate innovation.
Innovation Platform
It provides a stimulating environment for scientists, scholars, and students to present their research findings, engage in open discussions to propose innovative ideas and applicable solutions.
Next Generation Empowering
Special sessions to young researchers, to provide them with a platform to showcase their work, network with established scientists, and gain valuable mentorship.
Call for Proposals: Horizon Talks
We invite researchers, early-career scholars, and professionals to contribute to the Horizon Talks and Poster Session at the #ASSG25 Symposium.
Horizon Talks
Horizon Talks offer an opportunity to present research, innovative projects, or case studies relevant to one of the symposium’s key themes. These talks aim to foster discussion and interdisciplinary exchange.
