TWAS is organizing a workshop on /Scientific Refugees: Transnational 
Resources, /to be held on 13-17 March in Trieste.
The workshop will focus on the current refugee crisis but from the 
perspective of the scientists, engineers, medical doctors and science 
students among the millions of refugees who have fled conflict in 
countries, such as Palestine, Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya and Yemen 
in recent years, as well as the scenarios in countries that have emerged 
from periods of war/civil unrest .
The event aim to develop a series of recommendations on scientific 
refugees that can be of value to policymakers, research centres, 
educational institutions and refugee resettlement organisations.

The meeting is by invitation only but space is reserved for a number of 
locally based scientists who have personal experiences in this area that 
they may like to share.
If interested, please contact sciencediplomacy@twas.org (attn: Dr. Peter

Space is limited and invited scientists will be informed by 28 February.
