Tajik Technical University named after academician M.S.Osimi

The Al Fozan foundation, since its creation, has strived to improve and increase the capacities of youth worldwide through the Sciences. The COVID-19 pandemic has shown the world the importance of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). Thanks to the sciences and associated technologies, vaccines have been developed in record time. Schools have operated despite lockdown and our youth has innovated to adapt to the pandemic.

The Al Fozan foundation (founded by Mr. Abdullah Al Fozan), in its continuous support to youth, is very pleased to inform you that the foundation, in collaboration with the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) has established the UNESCO-AL FOZAN International Prize for the Promotion of Young Scientists in STEM
