Thanks to Stephanie Buttigieg and Jan Cauchi for this interview! We really need a better-coordinated approach - who is willing to write a strategy for public engagement with science? Edward Duca Paul Pace Rebecca Buttigieg "Most of the respondents expressed their interest in science (n = 461, 80.2%), with only a small sample of 69 respondents (12.0%) stating otherwise. The highest percentage of the respondents attending science activities were from the 18– 24 age group (65.2%). The 55–64 age group had the lowest percentage (29.4%), followed by the 65+ group (32.7%). Results also show that 36.6% of the respondents had never visited Esplora, the Interactive Science Centre, and a further 7.7% were unaware of it. Activities can be more inclusive if entities conducting PES include citizens in the design of the activities. A national PES strategy might act towards a better-coordinated approach among stakeholders conducting Public Engagement with Science."

Next week our panel will examine the intricacy between indigeneity, nationalism, and developmentalism under the framework of Papua as postcolony at AIFIS-MSU Conference on Indonesian Studies 2024. It is a virtual conference. So it does not require loads of logistics that not so many academics, esp. from the South, have the privilege. Hopefully it will become a great exchange of ideas, network and future collabs.

To overcome the Ukrainian and Palestine Wars, LSIPI Indonesia offers the concept of "Reviving each other, not eliminating each other". We are all aware, that there is not a single human being in this world who wants to be forcibly eliminated by others". "This chain of eliminating each other must be broken academically. The concept of reviving each other must start from academic studies as a method of thinking that is accepted and developed globally". LSIPI Indonesia has prepared the concept of Tawhid scientific, Tawhid curriculum, multicultural tawhid curriculum, historical medical science, and "democracy of bundo kanduang, democracy which priority knowledge and humanity in facing life issues, not political action" as a perfect and blessed knowledge concept to be able to help humans eliminate the idea of eliminating each other and start building the concept of reviving each other in a healthy, friendly and sustainable way. The First in the world and forever. 

We all need a boost sometimes, whether it's a surge or a push. And as humans, we're shaped by our surroundings, so we often mirror our environment. As inhabitants of this vast and intricate globe, engaged in the pursuit of knowledge and discovery, we must persist in our endeavors to advance and innovate, no matter how modest our contributions may seem. For even the smallest quota of progress, the most minute breakthrough, constitutes a vital increment in the grand tapestry of human advancement, ultimately culminating in the betterment of our world. I will be presenting tomorrow at Glorious Vision University's International Conference on 'Seed Sowing and Its Socio-economic Impact on Nigeria: A Critical Analysis.' The conference will afford me the opportunity to have a critical review of my work as intelligent scholars are found on the syndicate I will be presenting to, and it will also grant me the opportunity to learn from others as they present their work in various fields.. Attached to the work is the abstract of the topic. #GloriousVisionUniversity #InternationalConference #Theology #ReligiousStudies

Prof Rizwan met Prof. Berghout ,the Dean International Institute of Islamic Thought and Civilization (ISTAC), Malaysia Professor Berghout Abdelaziz having a double PhD and the recipient of the Datuk title (a title denoting membership of a high order of chivalry in Malaysia ) is considered as one of the key members of prime minister’s advisors regarding Islam and contemporary civilization issues. At ISTAC, Prof. Rizwan met with him to discuss how CSR’s vision for evolving an Islam-inspired knowledge ecosystem aligns with ISTAC’s objectives of advancing Islamic thought and civilization studies. The discussions highlighted ISTAC's rich academic resources and their potential for collaborative initiatives, especially in organizing joint conferences and seminars. A proposal for a Researcher Exchange Programme was warmly received, aiming to facilitate scholars' mobility and intellectual exchange between the two institutions. Concurrently, Prof. Rizwan emphasized the possibility of mutually benefitting collaboration of CSR and ISTAC which could serve as a platform to produce groundbreaking works in Islamic civilization studies. The interaction concluded with a commitment to formalize collaboration through a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to create a sustainable partnership and inviting resource persons in respective domains from both sides.

In the face of the new geopolitical landscape marked by Trump's presidency, the invasion of Ukraine, political tensions in the Middle East, and the migration turmoil from Africa, religious diversity plays a crucial role in shaping responses and fostering resilience. It acts as a bridge, promoting understanding and cooperation among different communities, and mitigating conflicts fueled by cultural and ideological differences. Embracing religious diversity can lead to more inclusive policies and humanitarian efforts, ultimately contributing to global stability and peace. If you've explored these dynamics in your Master's thesis, this is an excellent opportunity to highlight the profound impact of religious diversity in navigating these complex global challenges, so you can be invited to the 38th Biennial ISSR conference “Religion, Migration, and Conflicts in Polarized Societies” that will be held in Kaunas Lithuania (June 30 – July 4, 2025, at Vytautas Magnus University).

[The 3rd in-person Meeting of the APRU Indigenous Knowledge Network in Santiago, Chile this November] The University of Melbourne leads the APRU Indigenous Knowledges Network. It includes 12 APRU member institutions from Asia, Latin America, and the Pacific. They are united to share knowledge, build connections between Indigenous and non-indigenous researchers, enhance teaching programs in Indigenous and First Nations studies, and position Indigenous knowledge and wisdom globally. This Network has held two in-person meetings, one in Chiapas (Mexico) and another in Melbourne (Australia). The third in-person Meeting of the APRU Indigenous Knowledge Network will take place in Santiago, Chile, from November 4 to 8, 2024, under the title "Indigenous Sciences/Indigenous Knowledge: Discussions and Contributions for a Common Future." The Universidad de Chile will play a central role as the host institution, coordinating various activities of dialogue and reflection to develop a collaboration agenda that contributes to positioning indigenous knowledge within the APRU Network and with other relevant institutions. This will include panels for conversation and the exchange of ideas and proposals, as well as discussions and dialogues about gender and intersectionality, Indigenous languages, and Indigenous knowledge and sciences, to propose a working agenda.   More: https://lnkd.in/gVaei-Ga    ---    #APRU #Indigenous
