ISC and its partners organised the 9th edition of the Science Summit around the 78th United Nations General Assembly (UNGA78) on 12-29 September 2023.
The role and contribution of science to attaining the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) will be the central theme of the Summit. The objective is to develop and launch science collaborations to demonstrate global science mechanisms and activities to support the attainment of the UN SDGs, Agenda 2030 and Local2030. The meeting will also prepare input for the United Nations Summit of the Future, which will take place during UNGA79 beginning on 12 September 2024.

Aminu Bayawa Muhammad

Usmanu Danfodiyo University
Professor
Nigeria
In academic pursuit, my research focuses on petroleum geochemistry, the intricate processes surrounding heavy oil/bitumen refining, and the innovation of eco-friendly approaches for petrochemical development. I also work on the development of heterogeneous catalysis to produce sustainable green diesel and the conversion of biomass into valuable biofuels and platform chemicals. My enthusiasm extends to the practical utilization of AI and machine learning, both in my research endeavors and in broader applications.
In the socio-economic sphere, I actively advocate for good governance in Nigeria and across Africa. Additionally, I am deeply committed to advancing the cause of quality education in underserved rural areas of Africa, with a firm dedication to ensuring equitable access for both young boys and girls.
