To ensure the advancement of our Emirate, we must push for \u2018Innovation with purpose\u2019, by which I mean that innovation must have an end goal \u2013 it must have a focus on practical solutions that help to improve humanity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRas Al Khaimah is an Emirate that blends tradition with modernity, a place where history and the future intersect. It is our duty to ensure that the legacy we leave behind is one of innovation, sustainability and positive impact on the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>IWAM, in its 15<sup>th<\/sup> year in Ras Al Khaimah, is bringing together prominent scientists from internationally acclaimed educational institutions for three days of lectures, discussions and poster sessions on how advanced materials are helping shape the future.<\/p>\n<p>Advanced materials scientists, including a Nobel Prize winner, from institutions such as the University of Cambridge and the University of Oxford in the UK, the University of New South Wales in Australia, and the Max Planck Institute in Germany, are present for the event, which is taking place at Ras Al Khaimah\u2019s M\u00f6venpick Resort Al Marjan Island, until February 21.<\/p>\n<p>IWAM has grown considerably in recent years, with organizers of RAKCAM receiving almost 450 submissions to present at this year\u2019s event, which is bringing together more than 200 scientists, professors, researchers and students.

These materials have the potential to revolutionize many industries, such as aerospace, transport, construction and healthcare. New materials can also help lower carbon footprints and energy demand.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>HH Sheikh Saud bin Saqr Al Qasimi delivers an inspiring keynote opening
