BGSI Director Omar Yaghi led a discussion titled, "The Golden Thread of Creating and Sustaining Vibrant Cultures of Science", at the 2017 SwedAlex Symposium on Scientific, Social & Cultural Sustainability through Chemical Research. The event took place at the Swedish Institute’s historic building on the corniche in Alexandria, Egypt, and was sponsored by the Swedish Royal Academy of Sciences. The symposium focused on how to grow research communities that work together to solve critical problems of mankind, despite differences in social and cultural backgrounds. Below are some pictures from the event (photo credits to Sir Fraser Stoddart):
