In an Era of change where modern societies are gradually moving from Information to knowledge base societies, RASIT is working to enhance the social capital of Arab communities. RASIT’s Program "The Science Cafe" is creating the biggest platform in Arabic history where scientists, educators, public, and the new generation will interact in a knowledge driven environment.
Science Cafe Seminars: RASIT and through its program “Science Café” is dedicated to promoting excellence in science in Arab States. We believe that science is a vital part of Arabic societies and culture that cannot flourish without the support of the wider community.
Through the "Science Cafe" monthly seminars, we are committed to involving the public in learning about and debating science, and equipping scientists with the skills and opportunities to communicate their science more widely with a variety of audiences, whether it be students and scientists from other disciplines, or the media and mass public.
Each month, the Science Café will give individuals seats to listen to people who play an important part in developing and improving our lives, both behind the scenes and in the spotlight. Individuals can just "listen in" or, if the mood strikes, join in the conversation by offering comments or suggesting topics.
