The 186^th session of UNESCO Executive Committee of NGOs having partnership with UNESCO was held on May 6^th 2011, and during the session they announced the official membership of MILSET in the Executive Committee. This development has come as a result of MILSET's efforts to be in continuous relations with international and regional organizations and institutions. One of the most ambitious programmes for this year is the potential partnership between MILSET and Google Science fair.

At the regional level, and after the success of MILSET Europe partnership with the European Commission, MILSET Asia office has succeeded to organize a meeting between MILSET and representatives from UNESCO in Asian countries during the events of Expo-Sciences Asia from 2^nd to 8^th April 2010. Means of bilateral cooperation were discussed during the meeting and a boost was given to organize the Nano Forum in Saudi Arabia from 15^th to 19^th January 2011.

This is a great opportunity to get to know more about MILSET and MILSET members activities to which you are all invited to collaborate communicating about your organisation life and joining the editorial team.

At this moment MILSET Asia is collaborating with the Institute of the Arab World in Paris to organize a Scientific Forum for Arab countries in autumn 2012 in Paris to reinforce fields of scientific exchange between Arab countries on the one hand and French and European institutions on the other.
