About the organizers

American Association for the Advancement of Science
Center for Science, Technology and Security Policy

The American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) is the world's largest general scientific society and publisher of the journal, Science (www.sciencemag.org). The Center for Science, Technology and Security Policy (CSTSP) of the AAAS supports the use of sound science to inform current security policy debates.

Since our establishment in 2005, we have mainly focused on bringing scientific experts to contribute to policy discussions on primarily nuclear, biological, and cyber security issues in Washington, DC, USA. Recently, CSTSP has begun to reach out to the American academic community and international scientific community to provide substantive input on relevant policy issues. AAAS works with non-governmental experts to provide accurate and timely information to policy-makers. Therefore AAAS is able to provide unique opportunities to engage and be trusted by many stakeholders in many sectors globally.

The International Engagement Meeting Series is our first activity in the BMENA region.
