Votre coopération à la promotion de cette importante initiative académique internationale sera grandement appréciée.

Background:

Aerospace technology is one of the most advanced and strategically vital sectors, driving innovations in communications, defense, space exploration, and environmental monitoring. Despite the growing importance of aerospace capabilities globally, most OIC member states are underrepresented in this field due to limited investments, capacity gaps, and fragmented collaboration.

Recognizing the urgent need to build indigenous capabilities and strengthen cooperation among OIC Member Countries, OIC-COMSTECH proposes a technology exhibition and conference to bring together stakeholders from government, academia, industry, and research institutions. This initiative aims to create a unified platform for knowledge-sharing, policy dialogue, and technology partnerships that reflect the collective aspirations of the Islamic world in aerospace innovation.

Objectives:
To catalyze capacity-building, collaboration, and technological advancement in aerospace sectors among OIC member states.

• To showcase current developments and capabilities in aerospace technologies within the Muslim world.
• To identify opportunities for joint research, development, and industrial collaboration among OIC countries.
• To highlight the role of academia and youth in advancing aerospace innovation.
• To promote policy dialogue on space governance, airspace security, and peaceful uses of space.
• To establish a permanent working group or platform for aerospace cooperation under OIC-COMSTECH.

Fields:

• Aerospace Engineering
• Avionics
• Satellite Technology
• Material Sciences
• Precision Engineering
• Astronomy
• Any other relevant field

Expected Outcomes:

• A consolidated report outlining the state of aerospace development in OIC countries.
• Identification of training and capacity-building needs and initiatives.
• Launch of a collaborative network of aerospace institutions and experts across OIC states.
• Increased awareness and visibility of aerospace as a strategic priority in the Muslim world.

Beneficiaries:

• Scientists, engineers, and researchers in aerospace and related fields.
• Policymakers and space agency officials from OIC member states.
• University students and faculty in engineering, physics, and related disciplines.
• Industry stakeholders and technology innovators.
• The broader scientific community in the Islamic world.

Expected Impact:

• Strengthened scientific and technological self-reliance of OIC countries.
• Enhanced regional and inter-state cooperation on aerospace initiatives.
• Promotion of peaceful uses of space and high-tech innovation in OIC countries.
•  Contribution toward socio-economic development and national security through aerospace capabilities.

Jointly Organized by COMSTECH and

Venue: Islamic University of Technology (IUT), Bangladesh
Date:25-29 September, 2023

Introduction

In view of the diversity of several products, including processed food and other items of daily use in the present day, authentication and confirmation of their Halal nature is a growing challenge globally. Beside the environmental contaminants, both biological and chemical, addition of non-halal ingredients, which is prohibited for Muslims, are a matter of concern.  In recent years, awareness about Halal food and products has increased due to the cross contamination of several industrial products in our daily life. However, with increasing globalization, many Islamic countries import these products (or ingredients) from places which do not observe the Islamic religious laws. It is therefore, imperative for the Muslim countries to establish Halal testing laboratories which will ensure the ‘Halal’ status of the consumer products.

COMSTECH, SMIIC and other OIC institutions/organizations have been mandated by the Abu Dhabi Declaration (Second OIC Summit on Science & Technology, June 2021) to develop the capacity of Least Developed Countries of the OIC relevant to Halal (Clause # 32).

Course Objectives

The objective of this training courses is to encourage the harmonization of Halal Standards used in the OIC Countries and internationally by aiding in the adoption and use of the OIC/SMIIC Halal Standards. The training course is designed to train the participants from regarding the procedures for adoption, implementation and use of the OIC/SMIIC Halal Food Standards, mainly:

1. OIC/SMIIC 1:2019 – General Requirements for Halal Food
2. Auditing of Testing Labs in line with OIC/SMIIC 35 – Conformity Assessment – General Requirements for the Competence of Laboratories Performing Halal Testing.
3. the Testing Procedures standards such as Test Method for detection of porcine in Food Products (meat, processed food and gelatin) which are being chosen at SMIIC TC1 Technical Committee for Halal food issues.

The aim is to transfer knowledge and skills, and to develop the human capital, while bridging the knowledge gap and enlightening the compliance requirements set forth by the regulatory bodies in the OIC Countries.

Practical session: The first 3 days will consist of lectures which will can also be attended via zoom. This will be followed by a practical session of 2 days which will be conducted for a limited number of selected participants to transfer hands-on knowledge in halal laboratory testing methods. 

In regards to the practical training program, participants should fulfill the following criteria:

• Chemists, Researchers and Test Specialists high level, no beginners
• At least 3 years of practical experience in Real-Time PCR
• Able to converse and write in the English language
• Hold a permanent position at their institute
• Daily work with the measuring equipment
• Good knowledge in GLP.
• Age between 27 – 45 years old
• Had not previously participated in any course under SMIIC and COMSTECH
• Number of participants is limited and selection is based on the relevancy of the applicant’s job scope to the objective of the programme.
