This winter the Tehran University of Medical Sciences will host the first annual congress of the Universal Scientific Education Research Network.
Scheduled for November 8-10, USERN will bring together several Nobel laureates and some of the greatest scientists of our time, local tech website Zoomit reported.
The event will go live with the support of more than 50 universities and educational centers around the world and will be attended by at least 20 of the world’s greatest scientists.
Speeches would mostly be centered on subjects such as the layers of depth in science and timely trends in science as well as human dimensions. Other areas of focus include mathematics, physics, chemistry and communication.
One of the key note speakers is John Gurdon, a developmental biologist best known for his research in nuclear transplantation and cloning. He will speak on nuclear reprogramming and cell replacement therapy at the event.
A professor of physics and observational astronomy at University of California, Bahram Mobasher, will also be delivering a talk on the origins of life and the universe.
A world-famous Canadian-American mathematician, Louis Nirenberg, who is considered one of the most outstanding analysts of the 20th century, will lecture on mathematics.
Aside from keynote speeches a number of panel discussions have been planned.
Of the total 46 researchers under 40 years of age, the top five will be awarded the USERN prize worth $10,000. The top researchers will be selected by the event’s board of advisors.
The USERN prize is an international award, established by USERN, and would be bestowed to junior scientists or researchers less than 40 years of age for any novel advancement or achievement in scientific education, research, or serving the humanity in five scientific fields including medical sciences, life sciences, formal sciences, physical sciences, and social sciences
Science Without Borders
Created to target the advancement of authentic and professional scientific research and education, USERN hopes to promote the use of science for non-military purposes and public good.
The official motto of the network is science without borders and the most important goal it hopes to achieve is to provide a platform for more effective communication among young researchers and experienced scientists on a global level.
Only a year after its establishment in 2015, USERN’s board of consultants now comprises 140 people including 21 top scientists from Japan, the US, Hungary, Austria, Sweden, Germany, and Iran on the executive board, 11 of whom are Nobel laureates, and accounting for the top 1% of the world’s scientists.
