Welcome to the World Conference of Science Journalists 2011!

Egypt is home to 170,000 scientists and over 50 institutions involved in research, ranging from oceanography to metallurgy, and astronomy to climate change. It is also home to the largest concentration of science journalists in the region.

Egypt contains one-third of the world’s historic antiquities. It boars some of the world’s most popular sea resorts and its most well-preserved coral reefs.

The geography of the country ranges from the endless Sahara desert, to the lush Nile valleys and delta, to the desert oases and the mountains of prophets in Sinai.

With Egypt located at the meeting grounds between North and South, West and East, WCSJ2011 promises to bring science journalists from the developing and developed world to share, learn, and form priceless binds with each other like never before.

So mark your calendars and join us 27-29 June, 2011 in Grand Hyatt Hotel, Cairo, Egypt, for the unforgettable experience of WCSJ2011!

The preliminary program is already in place to give you a taste of what to expect in WCSJ2011.
