Fifth Arab-American Frontiers Symposium

The Arab-American Frontiers program is participant driven: an organizing committee of 12 members makes the selection of session topics, suggests speakers, and chairs the individual sessions during the symposium. The session topics presented at the symposium were:

  • Session I: Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene
  • Session II: Renewable Energy
  • Session III: Precision Medicine & Cancer
  • Session IV: Smart Agriculture
  • Session V: Smart Cities

One of the main objectives of Frontiers symposia is to foster pluridisciplinary dialogue and collaborations. Therefore, while speakers in each session are selected as experts in the topics above, each general participant also presents their research during poster sessions.
