أثر": البوابة الإلكترونية حول الأثر الاجتماعي للبحث العلمي"

The Issam Fares Institute for Public Policy and International Affairs at the American University of Beirut and the National Council for Scientific Research are pleased launched the “Portal for Social Impact of Scientific Research - ATHAR” (previously known as PSISR), a portal that serves as a tool for the exchange of information specialized in the assessment of the social impact of scientific research in/on the Arab world (http://atharportal.net). The event took place on Thursday, October 11, 2018 from 4:00 to 6:00 P.M. at the Auditorium of the Issam Fares Institute for Public Policy and International Affairs - AUB. The program included presentations by Drs. Tarek Mitri, Sari Hanafi, Mouin Hamza, and Seteney Shami, followed by a reception.

“ATHAR” aims to create an open repository documenting the trajectory of the scientific research in its different stages, and the way it interacts with social and public policy issues. This portal relies on direct input by researchers, who are required to describe their research projects, outcomes, and their "social" impact, in addressing economic, political, and cultural issues. The search engine will, of course be accessible to public and specifically to all concerned stakeholders. We hope that you will be able to join us, and if not please send your representatives.
