About Symposium
University of Bahrain is pleased to host a virtual online symposium which will focus on “recent innovations and knowledge empowering progress in physics” within GCC region. This virtual symposium is an opportunity for Physics community across GCC countries to come together, show off what they’re working on, and learn about the research that others are doing.
- This virtual symposium also includes Keynote presentations by prominent personalities from GCC countries in addition to both oral and poster presentations. We encourage distinguished professors, researchers and young scientists across GCC region to join this virtual symposium to utilize the expertise and novelties that brings a new era for innovations in the fields of physics.
- It will provide a platform to exchange information on relevant issues, have open discussions, knowledge sharing and interactive sessions with field experts. Meanwhile, the Symposium creates an environment for extensive discussion and potential collaboration with researchers across GCC.
- The symposium also aims to promote interactions among researchers in GCC to create avenue for collaborative research grants applications using all available GCC forums.
Major frontier topics in Physics are aimed to cover in this virtual symposium which includes:
- Theory and Simulation of Materials
- Condensed Matter Physics
- Optics, Photonics and Lasers
- Advances in Medical and Bio Physics
- Advanced Functional Nanomaterials
- Renewable and Sustainable Energy Resources
- Meteorology
- Collaborative Grants and Funding opportunities
