Many Arab countries are making significant investments in science and technology and have unique facilities and resources. However, there are few mechanisms for U.S. researchers to learn about research efforts in this region. This meeting provides an exceptional opportunity for U.S. scientists to interact with promising young researchers in the Middle East to develop new ideas and approaches to apply to ongoing research and discover opportunities for collaboration. This project will help support the seventh conference of the Arab-American Frontiers program series, to be held in Alexandria, Egypt in fall 2019. The event will provide an opportunity for approximately 40 early-career US scientists to attend a three-day conference of approximately 100 total attendees that seeks to: enhance scientific dialogue and exchange between young US and Arab researchers; encourage the transfer of techniques and approaches across disciplines, strengthen science and engineering collaboration within and beyond the US and the Middle East/North Africa region, and also empower young scientists, engineers and medical professionals to assume leadership roles in their fields and beyond. Participants are selected through a competitive application process, ensuring a meeting of research-active scientists and engineers who are ready to capitalize on the ideas and relationships developed at the conference. The event is co-organized by the Library of Alexandria and the Egyptian Academy of Scientific Research and Technology, and NSF funds leverage their significant support. The conference purposely focuses on several topics that are not directly related to encourage the participants to make connections beyond their field of study and to facilitate interdisciplinary dialogue that may offer new, unexpected insights. Participants at previous workshops have highlighted this broad interdisciplinarity as an intellectual highlight of the meeting. The focus areas for this meeting were developed by the volunteer organizing committee and represent globally important topics in which the Middle East has valuable expertise and is investing important resources. All five topics represent research challenges that require the insights of multiple disciplines.- Sensing Technology - Artificial intelligence - Water - Infectious Diseases - Community ResilienceFurther development of ideas for cooperative work that develop at the conference will be facilitated by small collaboration grants for which participants may apply after the meeting.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

许多阿拉伯国家正在对科学和技术进行大量投资，并拥有独特的设施和资源。但是，美国研究人员几乎没有任何机制来了解该地区的研究工作。这次会议为美国科学家提供了与中东有前途的年轻研究人员互动的非凡机会，以开发新的想法和方法，以应用于正在进行的研究并发现合作的机会。该项目将有助于支持2019年秋季在埃及亚历山大举行的阿拉伯裔美国边界计划系列第七届会议。该活动将为大约40名早期职业生涯的美国科学家提供一个机会，参加大约为期三天的100名参与者会议，该会议大约有100名参与者，他们寻求：增强美国和阿拉伯研究者之间的科学对话和交流；鼓励跨学科的技术和方法转移，加强美国和中东/北非地区内外的科学和工程合作，并赋予年轻科学家，工程师和医学专业人员在其领域及其他地区的领导角色。参与者是通过竞争性申请过程来选择的，确保了准备利用会议上发展的思想和关系的研究活性科学家和工程师的会议。该活动由亚历山大图书馆和埃及科学研究与技术学院共同组织，NSF资金利用了他们的重大支持。 该会议故意着重于几个与鼓励参与者建立联系以外的联系并促进跨学科对话的主题，这些主题可能会提供新的，出乎意料的见解。以前的研讨会的参与者强调了这种广泛的跨学科性，这是会议的智力亮点。这次会议的重点领域是由志愿者组织委员会开发的，代表了全球重要的主题，其中中东拥有宝贵的专业知识并正在投资重要的资源。所有五个主题均代表需要多个学科的见解的研究挑战。-感应技术 - 人工智能 - 水 - 感染性疾病 - 社区的弹性发展，在会议上开发的合作工作的思想发展的发展将由小型协作赠款促进参与者的适用后，这是通过该奖项来适用的。影响审查标准。
