“Sharing Knowledge 8” Rabat 9-12 May 2013 Robert Klapisch

Statements of the Foundation

  • Considering that:
  • Science is a universal language, common to all, irrespective of their political, philosophical
  • r religious beliefs.
  • The development of Science now mandates worldwide collaborations in order to cope

with changes (climate, health hazards, etc..) which have themselves become worldwide and also with an ever more costly mobilization of resources.

  • Progress in scientific knowledge cannot sustainably be borne only by developed
  • countries. Partnerships should be set-up in order to educate elites that will allow, in time,

less advanced countries to play their roles in furthering scientific knowledge.

Statements of the Foundation (ctd.)

  • The Foundation sets itself the following goals:
  • To encourage a dialogue between scientists, coming from advanced and from emerging countries.
  • To build a network from within the Civil Society dedicated to realizing concrete projects contributing

to a sustainable development and to reducing inequalities and imbalances between nations.

  • To organize for that purpose multidisciplinary conferences (following the model of the "Sharing

Knowledge" meetings of which the Founder has been the initiator), in order to tackle on a recurring basis:

  • The satisfaction of basic needs (water, energy, food).
  • Access to the digital civilization and to fundamental science.
  • Timely topics such as the prevention of catastrophes whether natural or man-made.
