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
