International (Selected) Efforts of Dr. Milton Dean Slaughter
Chair, Edward Bouchet Abdus Salam Institute (EBASI) of the Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) (2009-Present).
Memorandum of Understanding (See also MOU) between the Abdus Salam International
Centre for Theoretical Physics and the Edward Bouchet Abdus Salam Institute signed on 11
February 2009 by ICTP Director Professor K.R. Sreenivasan (now at New York University) and
Professor Milton D. Slaughter, Founding EBASI Council Member and 2009 Chair (See EBASI Appointing Document). This document formalizes mechanisms which allow ICTP and EBASI to participate jointly in synergistic scientific and technical collaborations among physical scientists, mathematicians, engineers, and technologists from America and Europe and their counterparts from developing countries, especially Africa. The collaborative venture established by this document provides for comprehensive and multi-disciplinary programs designed to:
- Provide mechanisms for synergistic scientific and technical collaborations between African and American physical scientists, engineers, and technologists;
- Enhance the impact of science and technology on the sustainable development of the countries on the African continent;
- Increase the technical manpower pool working in Africa today by facilitating the training of Ph.D. students from African universities;
- Create close contacts on a World Wide basis with universities, governmental and private sector institutions and organizations, and foundations which facilitate and advance EBASI objectives;
- Initiate other activities that advance EBASI objectives.
