In his speech, he expressed his happiness and interest in scientific research, and that it is a very important idea for school students to participate with university students. In the past, scientific research was for the elite, but now scientific research is for everyone, explaining that the role of the researcher is to criticize the idea and try to prove its success, and scientific research must be in group and not individual research.

His Excellency supported the merger of a university student's research with school students, so the idea of scientific research would be born from school students supported by the university student's experience and its impact from the exchange of ideas, communication, and transfer of experiences.

He advised the students to pay attention to the source of the information and ensure its validity, as well as setting standards for success and try to prove them by setting their goals and setting systematic plans in order to follow the right path and reach the best results.

         
   
         

The conference will continue from March 15-16, 2023. During the conference, more than 120 research papers submitted by various governmental, private and private colleges were discussed, with the participation of about 50 research students from schools.
