In an atmosphere defined by thought, creativity, and intellectual exchange, a cultural event titled “Culture and Science Evening” was held in celebration of the launch of a selection of publications by Prof. Ahmed A. Elgamel — widely recognized as one of the leading Arab academics, with distinguished contributions across forensic evidence, pharmacy, and humanistic thought.

The evening welcomed a notable gathering of cultural and academic figures, alongside writers, media professionals, and respected guests from various sectors. The strong turnout reflected the high regard held by intellectual communities for Prof. Elgamel’s scholarly contributions and the lasting value of his research and writing.

The programme highlighted several of Prof. Elgamel’s key works, spanning themes in forensic evidence sciences, insights and experiences drawn from professional criminal investigation and policing environments, as well as a distinctive literary contribution combining poetry and prose, titled “Jader Ablouf.” Together, these publications demonstrate both scientific rigor and creative breadth—offering a rare blend of academic depth and cultural expression.

The event also featured warm remarks from guest speakers, where a selection of academics and intellectuals discussed the significance of the featured works and their relevance to contemporary challenges facing Arab societies. Discussions further explored the essential role of academic thought in shaping development pathways and supporting decision-making processes.

In closing, Prof. Elgamel honoured members of the event’s organizing committee in recognition of their efforts and contributions to the evening’s success. In his remarks, he expressed deep appreciation for the initiative, emphasizing that honouring science and intellectual work is ultimately a tribute to society itself, and encouraged continued support for Arab thought leaders and innovators as a pathway to strengthening culture, knowledge, and progress.

The evening concluded on a hopeful note, with participants and guests reaffirming the importance of culture and science as pillars of positive change, and as foundations for building more resilient, informed, and sustainable communities.
