Alexandria—
The specialized Advisory Committees will hold its sixteenth meeting at the BA on 27-28 November 2007, chaired by Dr. Mohsen Youssef, Director, BA Dialogue Forum. The committees give impetus to the BA's artistic, cultural, and scientific mission through the participation of its members in formulating the activities and programs of the BA.
Dr. Ismail Serageldin, Director of the BA, stated that the BA seeks to deeply root its relationship with Egyptian scholars and intellectuals and to benefit from their wisdom and views, which helps the BA accomplish its mission and objectives.
He added that BA welcomes the participation of the advisory committees in proposing different activities to be held in the BA, provided that it enriches the intellectual and scientific life in Egypt. Dr. Serageldin said that disseminating the mission of the BA and its activities targeting international and local audience, and spreading the awareness on services provided by the BA to researchers and knowledge seekers would not be accomplished without the guidance of distinguished intellectuals on the Egyptian cultural and scientific arena.
It is worth mentioning that the committees' membership is for one year only to increase the participation of intellectuals and scholars from different fields. The committees meet around four times a year.
