Science is our way of building a new Sudan…! – Something for the homeland – ✍️ Mr. Salah Ghariba
The celebration of World Science Day for Peace and Development recalls the central role that science plays in the progress of nations and the well-being of people. UNESCO's call to celebrate science and express our appreciation for scientific achievements invites us to reflect on the enormous potential that science offers to build a better future for future generations.
In light of the enormous challenges facing Sudan, especially after years of war and conflict, science emerges as one of the most important tools for construction and development. Sudan, thanks to its human capabilities and enormous natural resources, is capable of achieving a comprehensive scientific and technological renaissance. But this requires concerted efforts from all parties, government, private and civil society, to invest in science, research and development.
Modern Sudan can be built on the foundations of science. In terms of investment in education, education must be a top priority, with a focus on science, technology, engineering and mathematics. An educational environment that stimulates creativity and innovation must be provided, and students must have the necessary skills and knowledge to keep pace with scientific and technological developments, in addition to supporting scientific research. Sufficient budgets must be allocated to support scientific research in various fields. areas and cooperation between universities, research institutes and companies must be encouraged. Necessary infrastructure must be provided to laboratories and research laboratories, and capacity must be strengthened by investing in capacity building of scientists and researchers and providing training and professional development opportunities. Sudanese scientists working abroad should also be encouraged to return home to participate in the construction and development process, while creating a stimulating environment for innovation and providing incentives for innovators and inventors. It is also necessary to facilitate the registration of patents and protect intellectual property, accelerate the process of digital transformation in all sectors, benefit from artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques to improve public services and increase productivity, strengthen the international cooperation in the field of science and technology and benefit from global expertise and knowledge.
Artificial intelligence is one of the most important technologies that will shape the future of the world. Sudan can benefit from this technology in many areas, such as agriculture, health, education and industry. Artificial intelligence can help improve agricultural production, diagnose diseases at an early stage, develop educational programs and increase the efficiency of industries.
Despite the enormous potential offered by science, Sudan faces many challenges, including a lack of financial resources due to the need to invest in science, research and development, which requires significant funding. Sudan suffers from a shortage of qualified scientific personnel and negative political instability. affects the process of scientific development.
Building a new Sudan requires the combined efforts of all parties and the achievement of sustainable development based on knowledge and innovation. Investing in science, scientists, technology and digital transformation is the best way to achieve this goal. Science is the engine of progress and prosperity, and it is the light that guides us towards a better future.
Every individual in Sudanese society must contribute to building the new Sudan, by supporting science and scientists, working to spread scientific culture and encouraging innovation and creativity. The government must also play its role in providing a suitable environment for scientists and researchers and allocating necessary resources to support scientific research.
In conclusion, the celebration of World Science Day for Peace and Development is an opportunity to renew the commitment to work towards building a better future for Sudan, a future based on science, knowledge and innovation.
