The 6th USERN Anniversary

All around the world, people celebrate Christmas and step into a new year with the hope of the end of the COVID-19 pandemic. Here in USERN, we are celebrating the 6th year of scientific innovation and integrity and are happy that we made it possible regardless of all the last year's challenges.

The Universal Scientific Education and Research Network (USERN), as its name implies, aims for the promotion of two main cores, education and research. In the research arm, USERN has a great accomplishment of publishing more than 1450 scientific documents, resulting in an H-index of 57 at the end of 2021. As defined by USERN, it "is the process of receiving or giving systematic instructions to prepare individuals to be functional in learning and generating knowledge and spreading wisdom." USERN has organized over 800 educational and inspirational scientific events, including different scientific workshops, focused group discussions (FGD), Meet the Expert sessions (USERN Expert Express Event, UEEE), USERN Research Week Events, talks, scientific debates and schools, during its first 6 years of activity. At the dawn of the 7th year of action, USERN is also proud to have its invaluable scientific community including more than 18,000 members, more than 600 top 1% scientists, and 19 Nobel/Abel laureates as Advisory Board members, 63 USERN junior ambassadors (UJAs), 70 USERN Interest Groups (UIGs), 74 Memorandum of Understandings (MoUs), and 48 USERN offices.
