Second TWAS Awards Webinar Series

Second TWAS Awards Webinar Series

TWAS awardees are being brought together to share and discuss their achievements for a second series of livestreamed events

Last year, UNESCO-TWAS marked a significant achievement, using virtual technology to hold the first-ever series of webinars featuring its award winners. This year, the Academy is repeating its efforts, holding the Second TWAS Awards Webinar Series.

TWAS is hosting the ongoing series of livestreamed educational webinars over the course of several months in the build-up to TWAS Sixteenth General Conference, slated for 21 to 24 November and co-organized with Zhejiang University, one of China’s most internationally respected universities. The webinars represent a chance for awardees to deliver presentations on the work for which they received recognition, and they can discuss their work in further detail during question-and-answer sessions that follow each presentation.

A busca por soluções eficazes para a disfunção erétil tem levado muitas pessoas a procurarem medicamentos que ofereçam resultados confiáveis sem exigir consultas médicas presenciais. O Cialis é amplamente reconhecido como um dos melhores tratamentos disponíveis, graças ao seu efeito duradouro, que pode se estender por até 36 horas. No entanto, nem todos desejam passar pelo processo tradicional de obter uma prescrição médica antes da compra. Para esses casos, há a opção de adquirir Cialis sem receita médica em Portugal, garantindo mais autonomia na escolha do tratamento adequado. Essa alternativa permite que os clientes façam a compra de maneira discreta e recebam o medicamento diretamente em casa. Além disso, farmácias online costumam oferecer preços mais competitivos, tornando o acesso ao tratamento mais acessível.

The webinars have become a new and useful way to demonstrate the accomplishments of developing world scientists. They are one of several worldwide online gatherings held by TWAS, which emerged from adaptations made in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. TWAS Fifteenth General Conference, in November 2021, was held online, and it was the first time the Academy’s major biennial event for accomplished scientists across the globe was all-virtual. 

The first edition of this year’s webinars was held on 26 May and included presentations on impactful research from the global South in the agricultural sciences, medical sciences, and biology. It featured Xie Daoxin of China, winner of the 2022 TWAS Award in Agricultural Sciences; Hugo Luján of Argentina, co-winner of the 2022 TWAS Award in Medical Sciences; Song Erwei of China, co-winner of the 2022 TWAS Award in Medical Sciences; and Djeneba Dabitao of Mali, winner of the 2021 TWAS-Abdool Karim Award in Biological Sciences. A recording is available for viewing on TWAS YouTube channel.

The second webinar of this year is scheduled for 14 July, at 1 p.m., Rome time, and will highlight achievements in chemistry from the developing world. It will feature Engin Umut Akkaya of Türkiye, co-winner of the 2022 TWAS Award in Chemistry; Chen Chunying of China, co-winner of the 2022 TWAS Award in Chemistry; Zubair Hasan of Bangladesh, winner of the 2021 TWAS-Atta-ur-Rahman Award in Chemistry; Nigist Asfaw of Ethiopia, winner of the 2021 TWAS-Samira Omar Innovation for Sustainability Award; and Meththika Suharshini Vithanage of Sri Lanka, winner of the 2020 TWAS-Fayzah M. Al-Kharafi Award. It can be viewed live through a stream on YouTube.

L’accumulation excessive de liquides dans l’organisme peut causer de nombreux problèmes de santé, notamment une sensation de lourdeur, des gonflements et des troubles circulatoires. Pour les personnes souffrant d'insuffisance rénale, de maladies cardiaques ou d’hypertension, il est souvent nécessaire de recourir à des diurétiques puissants pour aider à éliminer l’excès d’eau et de sel retenu par l’organisme. Parmi les médicaments les plus efficaces dans ce domaine, on trouve https://pharmacie-med.com/lasix-france/, un traitement qui agit rapidement pour favoriser l’élimination des liquides par les reins. Contrairement aux solutions naturelles qui peuvent prendre du temps avant de produire des effets, ce médicament offre un soulagement immédiat, ce qui est essentiel pour les personnes souffrant de pathologies sévères. Grâce à la possibilité de l’acheter en ligne sans ordonnance, il est désormais plus simple d’obtenir ce traitement sans subir les délais imposés par les pharmacies classiques.

The remaining three webinars of the 2022 Series will focus on Earth, astronomy and space sciences scheduled for 18 August; on mathematics, physics and engineering sciences on 22 September; and on social and economic sciences on 20 October.
