The Consortium for the Advancement of Science and Technology organizes, leads, and hosts international events that bring together scholars, researchers, and practitioners from diverse domains of science, technology, and applied research. As a Sharjah-based learned society and professional association, the Consortium provides a global platform for the presentation of research results, the exchange of expertise, and the development of cross-disciplinary collaboration addressing contemporary scientific and technological challenges.

The Consortium’s events cover a broad spectrum of research areas related to the design, development, and application of advanced engineering solutions, intelligent systems, computational methods, and data-driven technologies. Significant attention is given to energy-related systems and technologies, advanced materials and chemical processes, as well as the study of natural systems, environmental dynamics, and the interaction between human activity and the Earth’s ecosystems. Research in biological, agricultural, and life-science applications is also represented, particularly where innovation and technology contribute to food security, resource efficiency, and sustainable development.

In addition, the Consortium actively supports dialogue at the intersection of technology, sustainability, education, and socio-economic development. Its international conferences and symposia address innovation processes, resilience and security considerations, modern educational and learning practices, and the economic and managerial dimensions of scientific and technological advancement. Through carefully curated events delivered in virtual, hybrid, and in-person formats, the Consortium fosters international cooperation, supports emerging research communities, and strengthens the global exchange of knowledge and professional practice.

The Consortium for the Advancement of Science and Technology is a learned society and professional association established under the laws of the Emirate of Sharjah, United Arab Emirates. Bringing together universities, research institutions, and experts across diverse scientific and technological fields, the Consortium advances knowledge, fosters innovation, and strengthens international collaboration throughout the Middle East, North Africa, Europe, East and Central Asia, and beyond.

As a learned society, the Consortium promotes scientific research and knowledge dissemination through international conferences, publications, and collaborative academic initiatives. As a professional association, it supports practitioners by facilitating professional development, ethical standards, and cross-border engagement among specialists in a wide range of disciplines.

The Consortium is licensed to organize and promote scientific events worldwide — including conferences, symposia, workshops, and conventions in both physical and virtual formats — as well as to provide academic and professional training programs, specialized courses, and international learning initiatives. It is authorized to publish journals, periodicals, and books, ensuring the global dissemination of research, and to conduct or support research and experimental development across the natural sciences, engineering, medical sciences, biotechnology, agricultural sciences, and related interdisciplinary fields.

Through these activities, the Consortium serves as a vital institution connecting science, education, and innovation across regions and empowering researchers and professionals to advance knowledge and shape the future of global scientific collaboration.
