Significance of Research Funding Highlighted at AMT’2026
The vibrant city of Marrakech recently hosted the 9th International Congress on Thermal Sciences (AMT’2026), an event that served as a crucial platform to emphasize the pressing need for enhanced financial support for scientific research. Sahar Abdouh, a member of the Istiqlal party, articulated the urgency of this call, underlining that scientific research has never been in greater need of funding than it is today. This sentiment resonates deeply within the academic and research communities, where the pursuit of knowledge and innovation is often hindered by financial constraints.
During the congress, experts and stakeholders from various sectors converged to discuss advancements in thermal sciences and their implications for sustainable development. The discussions highlighted the interplay between research funding and the ability to innovate in critical areas such as energy efficiency, climate change mitigation, and the development of new technologies. The congress not only spotlighted the achievements in the field but also served as a reminder of the ongoing challenges that researchers face in securing adequate funding to support their projects.
The collective voice of attendees at AMT’2026 called for a comprehensive strategy to bolster national research initiatives, advocating for increased investments from both public and private sectors. The consensus was clear: without substantial financial backing, the potential for groundbreaking discoveries in thermal sciences—and their application to real-world challenges—remains severely limited. As the global community continues to grapple with pressing environmental issues, the need for a robust research framework has never been more critical.
