Source: Khaleej Times, 12 January 2010
Oman's Sultan Qaboos University and the Kuwait Institute for Scientific Research
(KISR) will conduct joint research on earthquakes under a memorandum of
understanding (MoU) signed between them.
According to the deal, inked by Dr Ali bin Saud al-Bimani, Vice-Chancellor of
SQU, and Dr Naji Mohammed Al Mutairi, Director-General of the institute, the two
institutes will encourage technology collaboration and research related to
earthquakes and seismic activities.
A joint database on earthquake activities in Oman and Kuwait will be established
and there will be a continuous exchange of seismic data between the two
institutions.
The MoU calls for organising joint symposia and conferences on earthquakes and
seismology at regular intervals and joint training workshops for specialists in
the area working in SQU and the KISR.
The patents and rights of inventions and discoveries resulting from the joint
research activities and studies will belong to the two institutions together and
will be used for the benefit of the two countries, the MoU said.
Meanwhile, experts from the World Trade Organisation (WTO) gave lectures on
various aspects of the global economic crisis at SQU.
The series of lectures, presided over by Sayyida Dr Mona bint Fahad Al Said,
Assistant Vice-Chancellor for External Cooperation, were attended by academics
from various universities and colleges, bankers and key officials of financial
institutions in the country.
