Problems
• Education• Employment• Health• Environment• Biosafety • Biosecurity

Networking
“Coming together is a beginning, Keeping together is progress and Working together
is success” (Henry Ford )
Advantages• Rapid Access of scientific information's• Establishment of safe & secure society• Platform to interact with each others• Sharing of innovative ideas• Opportunities for new scientific collaborations• New job and scholarship opportunities• Solving of new issues and challenges by collaborative efforts• Improving of standard of life by collective efforts• Public awareness• Funding
World ScenarioVery rapid development in the field of Biotechnology, Genetic Engineering and other sciences took placed in the world. But……..
Increase the risk of miss use of Scientific Knowledge
Demand Mutual collaboration & networking to solve common problems Demand Engagement of younger generation of scientists for addressing the potential
risks associated with research Demand Regional scientific collaboration to promote the adoption of common
principles and practices in bioethics, biosafety, and biosecurity. Demand awareness about bioethics, Biosafety, Biosecurity & Dual Use education for
responsible conduct of research
AAAS workshop at Tunisia We aim at expanding and building a network of young scientists from the BMENA countries and the United States and previous workshop participants to address important scientific and societal issues, develop a program on responsible research conduct at the institutional level, and provide opportunities for career development and peer mentorship.
Dr. Anwar NasimThe real wealth of any nation is not natural resources but the intellectual capabilities, commitment, honesty and integrity of its youth.
Dr.Zabta Khan ShinwariWe can secure our future by engagement of Young Scientists in the efforts of Bioethics, Biosafety, Biosecurity & Dual Use Education in BEMENA region
