April 25, 2023 is the due date for the nomination process for the “International Academy Prizes”, which are presented by TÜBA to honor scientists, to contribute to the scientific development of Türkiye and to improve the relations and cooperation of the Turkish scientific community with the world scientific community.
TÜBA evaluated earthquake disasters in a multidimensional way with nearly 50 academics from more than 20 different scientific disciplines in order to fulfill the responsibility of reporting on the science strategy of the country, producing scientific publications, and sharing these with relevant institutions and individuals.
Prof. Dr. Muzaffer Şeker, president of TÜBA attended the “Science20 Inception Meeting” held within the scope of Science20 (S20).
A memorandum of understanding was signed between TÜBA and the Azerbaijan National Academy of Sciences to provide the ground for the developing new cooperation possibilities.
TÜBA President, Professor Muzaffer Şeker, emphasized the importance of science in a joint paper published by the Science-20 (S-20) working group of the national science academies of the G20 countries. The paper, which includes 41 studies in total, was published in December 2022 in connection with the G8 and G20 summits held in 18 different years and countries from 2005 to 2022. In the introductory article, Professor Şeker highlighted the issues of inequality in education, environmental pollution, unfair income distribution, and the destruction of cultural values as significant problems facing the world. He also emphasized the importance of the formation of the G8 and G20 in addressing these issues and said that it is necessary for developing countries to be included in the solution-finding process. He noted that the G20 platform does not have decision-making power but it is an important opportunity for many developing countries to have their voices heard in the world, and that the S20 meetings are crucial in this regard as they provide an opportunity for scientists to convey their findings to decision-makers.
