SUMMARY;LANGUAGE=en-us:Zehra Sayers: SESAME*: Defying borders in the Middle
East
DESCRIPTION:Science and Society\nSpeaker: Zehra Sayers\nInstitution: Sabanc
i Universitesi\, Turkey\nHost: Lucia Von Bredow\nAbstract: Science and pri
nciples of scientific conduct are universal leading to free communication
of ideas and sharing of results\, as we have seen in the race for finding
solutions for the global threat of the COVID-19 pandemic. Scientists have
easily reached and collaborated across borders to achieve shared goals. In
this lecture I will talk about a different collaborative project\, SESAME\
, that does not recognize conventional borders. This advanced synchrotron
radiation infrastructure\, located in Jordan\, came to being through joint
efforts by Cyprus\, Egypt\, Israel\, Iran\, Jordan\, Palestinian Authority
\, Pakistan and Turkey\, and is supported by several observer countries. S
ESAME creates a positive dynamism in the region by providing scientists wi
th new tools at its beamlines and by opening possibilities for collaborati
ons among scientists coming from diverse cultural and political background
s. As well as science that is produced at SESAME\, I will also discuss dif
ferent aspects of this project including how SESAME can become a truly int
ernational lab and how this scientific endeavor can reach society at large
\, beyond scientists.\n\n*Synchrotron light source for Experimental Scienc
