This event aims at bringing 100 young researchers from developing countries to share their ideas and experience, in addition to meeting mentors and eminent scientists who would enlighten their knowledge into the fields of research and development.

Representatives from international funding organizations will demonstrate and unleash funding opportunities to those young researchers and discuss with them the proper way to fund seeking.
