MALAYSIA is globally well renowned as a tropical biodiversity hub with one of the most complex tropical rainforest ecosystems in the world. The nation is poised to become a key play in the global tropical sciences industry by unleashing the potential of tropical science.
Aligned with their mission to champion tropical sciences, Mahathir Science Award Foundation (MSAF) collaborated with the Academy Sciences of Malaysia (ASM) for the first time to organise an International Conference on Tropical Sciences: Contributions to Sustainability from Oct 25 till 27 virtually.
MSAF was established in 2010 to support the Mahathir Science Award which is positioned as the world’s most prestigious science award for tropical sciences. The award aims to promote interest in Tropical Sciences and value the scientists’ research.
