Building on the success of the first edition held in El Jadida, Morocco, the Second International Congress “Science to Promote Sustainable Development” will take place in Cairo, Egypt. This prestigious scientific event aims to bring together a wide range of specialists, researchers, academics, and professionals from different disciplines who share a common commitment to advancing sustainable development through science, innovation, and collaboration.

The congress serves as a unique multidisciplinary platform for exchanging ideas, presenting research findings, and fostering partnerships between universities, research institutions, and industry. Its overarching goal is to promote an integrated scientific approach to sustainability that connects natural sciences, engineering, social sciences, and cultural studies, recognizing that true sustainability requires the interaction of knowledge across disciplines and across borders.

This second edition will focus on five major thematic areas:

• Soil and Vegetation: Understanding soil dynamics, biodiversity, and vegetation management for sustainable land use and ecosystem resilience.
• Coastal and Marine Environments: Investigating challenges related to coastal ecosystems, marine resources, pollution, and the effects of climate change on marine biodiversity.
• Raw Materials and Industry: Promoting sustainable extraction, circular economy principles, and eco-innovation in industrial practices.
• Tangible and Intangible Heritage: Highlighting the role of cultural heritage, traditional knowledge, and community identity in supporting sustainable societies.
• Water Resources, Management, and Valorization: Addressing the sustainable management of water resources, innovative treatment technologies, and strategies for equitable access and efficient use.

Through keynote lectures, thematic sessions and roundtable discussions, the congress will provide an inclusive environment for participants to share their expertise, discuss scientific advances, and propose actionable solutions to contemporary sustainability challenges.

Ultimately, this congress seeks to strengthen regional and international collaboration between the scientific community, fostering a shared vision of sustainability that respects environmental integrity, economic progress, and social well-being.
