DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Gihan Kamel (SESAME Light Source)\nThe Synchrotron-l
 ight for Experimental Science and Applications in the Middle East (SESAME)
  is the first synchrotron facility in the Middle East. Its current Members
  are Cyprus\, Egypt\, Iran\, Israel\, Jordan\, Pakistan\, Palestine and T
 ürkiye. With Brazil\, Canada\, China (People’s Republic of)\, the Europ
 ean Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN)\, the European Union (EU)\, F
 rance\, Germany\, Greece\, Italy\, Japan\, Kuwait\, Portugal\, Russian Fed
 eration\, Spain\, Sweden\, Switzerland\, the United Arab Emirates\, the Un
 ited Kingdom\, and the United States of America are observers. \n\nSESAME 
 seeks establishing the Excellency of Science and technology\, human capaci
 ty building\, brain-drain reversal\, gender-gap enrichment\, and a bridge 
 to understanding in such a tempestuous region. In conjunction with this\, 
 the tangible vision that Africa must receive its analogous situation as a 
 leader within the global scientific arenas becomes more evident. The strat
 egic plan is to launch a world-class large scale research infrastructure\,
  heal the brain-drain challenge\, address both local and regional concerns
 \, as well as being a vehicle for economy. \n\nIn this regard\, SESAME is 
 considered as a model in action for the African community. A Memorandum of
  Understanding has been signed in 2020 with the AfLS Foundation which intr
 insically seeks instituting a synchrotron facility in Africa being the onl
 y continent that is left behind without such an advanced technology. \n\nT
 he presentation will explore SESAME achievements and challenges\, and will
  emphasize the significant joint efforts between SESAME and the AfLS Found
 ation Up-to-Date.\n\nhttps://events.saip.org.za/event/249/contributions/98
