venue: Cairo, Egypt
The Arab conference on
Astronomy and geophysics will be organized
bi-annually. The name of the conference is made
so that it can be organized under the umbrella
of the League of Arab States and can be held
only in one of the Arab countries. However,
participation is open for astronomers and
geophysicists from Arab countries as well as any
other part of the globe. Among many other
objectives of the conference, the main
objectives are:
1- To foster, deepen and
strengthen the relation among astronomers and
geophysicists in Arab world through joint
research work, joint research projects, exchange
of learned lessons, conducting training courses,
workshops and creating network for on-line data
exchange on natural phenomenon
2- To encourage Arab
scientists in both fields to integrating their
efforts in contributing to the advancement and
progress of astronomy and geophysics through
active cooperation among each others as well as
other scientists from any other part of the
world.
