Prof. Salem Bamasoud, Hadhramout University Vice President, is scheduled to present a scientific paper tomorrow at the international forum entitled “The Cost of Lost Knowledge: Rebuilding Scientific Activities in Crisis-Affected Countries,” which will be held virtually via Zoom.
Representing Yemen, Prof. Bamasoud will deliver a paper titled “The Yemeni Experience: Sustaining Scientific Research and Preserving Knowledge Capacities Amid Protracted Crises.”
The Sudanese Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research, in partnership with the Arab Union of Scientific Research Councils, organized the forum. It aims to explore approaches for restoring research and scientific activities in countries that have experienced prolonged conflicts and crises.
In his presentation, Prof. Bamasoud will examine the mechanisms that have enabled Yemeni academic institutions to preserve intellectual and scientific capital and maintain research activities despite the challenges posed by more than a decade of ongoing conflict. The paper will highlight experiences, lessons learned, and strategies for sustaining knowledge production under exceptionally difficult circumstances.
The forum forms part of broader Arab efforts to assess the knowledge losses resulting from crises and conflicts and to develop effective strategies for rebuilding scientific and research systems capable of supporting recovery and sustainable development.
