Dr Alain L. Fymat,
MA, MS, PhD, PhD was appointed Chairman of the Medical Scientific Committee for
the 2012 World Summit: The Advancement of Science in Africa, University of
Limpopo, South Africa, December 6-8, 2012.
The Summit will focus on the organization of African scientists and
their colleagues in and outside Africa for the purpose of advancing science on
the continent for social and economic development and improvement. The
Conference will also identify where African scientists are, how much they are
contributing their scientific knowledge in different fields to help Africa cope
with today's challenges and opportunities provided by modern technology such as
the internet and other related information communication and technologies.
The Conference will also attempt to organize and group African
scientists and their colleagues according to their scientific expertise for the
purpose of bringing them under one continental/global umbrella to facilitate easier
communication amongst them. It will further bring them together with the goal
of giving them one common voice, Such a voice would give the much needed voice
in African science, discovery and development of scientific products from
across the scientific board. Still further, it would provide the much needed
African voice for attracting funds/investments in the scientific expertise
needed to put the African continent on a par with the rest of the world in
science and scientific education. In the end, Africa will have begun focusing
on generating long-term economic benefits by strengthening its science and
technology sectors and adjacent sectors such as drug delivery structure.

As an international institution, and as an integral part of its
activities, this Institute is particularly interested in opening and sponsoring
satellite centers (Chapter) across the world. The first such center has been
opened (official inauguration at a later date) in the Mediterranean
Euro-Region. It is located in San Remo, Italy because of this city's
geographical location at the region's epicenter. It is hoped that this is only
a beginning and that other centers may likewise be inaugurated in other
strategic locations throughout Europe and even in other world countries.
The center, named ForVm Mediterraneo - Espace Miramare,
is this Institute's First European Platform for physicians and other medical
professionals and scientists. At ForVm Mediterraneo - Espace Miramare, these
individuals or groups would be able to hone their skills, exchange their views,
expertise and experience. They would be able to conduct non-laboratory research
and contribute to post-graduate medical education. They may be either visitors
or academicians-in-residence for variable periods of time so they could for a
time concentrate on their subject of highest interest. Such residencies usually
result in scholarly publications and public lectures.
This Institute is also very keen on its service activities. Thus, ForVm
Mediterraneo - Espace Miramare will also disseminate its activities and welcome
the general public who may be interested in acquiring information about health
issues or conditions of concern to them. They may also be permitted to have
access to the center's specialists for a better understanding of their
illnesses and information on alternative options available for diagnosis and
therapy. It is also believed that ForVm Mediterraneo - Espace Miramare would be
of great social and economic benefit to San Remo while adding to the prestige of
this beautiful historic city.
Institute's International Director (for France and Italy) Dr. Gerard
Sabbah, DDS, has been appointed the Founding President/CEO of ForVm
Mediterraneo - Espace Miramare. To the launching of this project, Dr. Sabbah has
dedicated a major selfless effort.
