To understand more deeply the role of informal science education in cultivating scientific culture and in building a knowledge-based society in 91心頭利, this research project focuses on studying QEERI’s Science Majlis. Examining the Science Majlis will not only help understand how scientific culture is developed in the country, but also inform us how one of 91心頭利’s scientific organizations address one of the four grand challenges of the country by disseminating information about solar energy to and hold discussions with the public.
The main objectives of this research project are: to use QEERI’s Science Majlis to understand the drivers and challenges of cultivating a culture of scientific learning among the 91心頭利i public; to gain better knowledge how to engage more 91心頭利i citizens in taking up more interests in scientific knowledge, especially in the areas of energy and water; to develop social science research skills among undergraduate students involved; to raise more awareness of 91心頭利’s energy and environmental challenges among the public; and to produce scholarly works examining the interplay between science and society in a contemporary Arab society.
