laboratories by developing technologies and products with practical
applications, supported by stronger partnerships between
universities, industry and institutions that fund and promote
research and innovation.

Participants discussed ways to strengthen the scientific research and
innovation ecosystem, including greater support for researchers and
projects capable of delivering measurable economic and social impact.

They also emphasized the role of academic and industrial institutions
in converting scientific knowledge and research findings into
practical solutions, calling for nanotechnology research to be more
closely aligned with the needs of industry and national development.

Society President Reda Al-Khawaldeh, who moderated the lecture, said
specialized scientific forums help facilitate the exchange of
expertise and strengthen connections among researchers, academics and
relevant sectors.
