The forum is attended by scientists from prestigious academic institutions, such as the universities of Cambridge and Oxford (UK), and the University of California and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) (U.S.).
IWAM also sees scientists awarding the student winners of the Ras Al Khaimah Innovation and Sustainability Challenge, which comprises seven competitions to develop innovative solutions to real-life challenges.
A scientific session for high-school students also takes place during IWAM, while scientists will visit Ras Al Khaimah-based companies to highlight how advanced materials can be utilized to improve productivity.
