Planning Meeting Agenda and Participant List
DEVELOPING A FRAMEWORK FOR AN INTERNATIONAL FACULTY DEVELOPMENT PROJECT ON
EDUCATION ABOUT RESEARCH IN THE LIFE SCIENCES WITH DUAL USE POTENTIAL
May 30-June 1, 2011
TWAS, the academy of sciences for the developing world
Trieste, Italy
AGENDA
May 29: Informal reception/dinner
May 30: Relevant topics to the Education Institute and the report
The day will begin with an overview of the topics of the meeting through a series of presentations and
discussions and will move on to focus on educational models of active learning. After the afternoon
break, we will switch to modeling active participation techniques by engaging with an actual case study.
Open Data-Gathering Session
9:15-10:00: Breakfast
10:00: Opening Plenary

(Committee members)
13:30: Lunch
14:30: Plenary – The Bibliotheca Alexandrina and its role in supporting the life sciences and Education.
A talk by Ismail Serageldin
15:30: Break
15:45: Overview of active learning educational models
How People Learn - Jay Labov (NRC staff)

18:00: Adjourn
Tuesday May 31: Biosecurity and Education: Pedagogy of the Education Institute
Open Data-Gathering Session
8:30-9:15: Breakfast
9:15: The experience of a case study - Alastair Hay (U Leeds)
10:30: Break
10:45: The educational and research context in Egypt/MENA: the lay of the land
Regulations, government oversight, curriculum development and approval, responsibilities in
grants and in higher education. This discussion will begin with facts about Egypt, but if time
permits would be expanded to higher education in other countries of the MENA region:
Mohamed El-Faham (Committee member) and Alaa Ibrahim (American U Cairo)
Biomedical ethics/RCR: Eiman Aleem (U Alexandria)
Teaching life sciences research in Egypt: Mona Mostafa Mohamed (Cairo University)
The rest of this day will be devoted to engaging with active learning exercises guided by Jim Stith and
Clarissa Dirks (Committee members) and Jay Labov. The group will be split into smaller groups that will
be working both collectively and in these smaller groups on the following topics:
12:00: Lunch
12:30: Backward Design: what it is; the development of topics; how to develop and use assessment
methods (summative assessments, formative assessment using measurable verbs: “What do I want my
students to do in this class, what message do I want them to take home, and how do I assess the impact of
the class)” - Clarissa Dirks
13:30: Modeling of Backward Design through a Physics case study - Jim Stith
15:00: break
15:15: Applying backward design in education on science with dual-use potential: identify the major
topics in research with dual use potential amenable to this approach; identify the outcomes of the
educational institute in relation to d-u research; discuss summative assessments - Jay Labov

16:00: Break into smaller group to discuss specific dual-use topics with set learning goals in mind (i.e.,
set the goals up front)
17:15: Expand on the relevant topics of dual use in biological sciences relevant to Egypt (and the MENA
more broadly)
18:00: Adjourn
Wednesday June 1: Practical matters
Open Data-Gathering Session
8:30-9:30: Breakfast
9:30: Designing the Institute. The group will discuss the general educational approach to be employed in

10:30: The participants will break into small groups; each group will be assigned one of the previous
topics. The groups will think conceptually about the topics and will present their findings and
recommendations to the plenary that follows [NOTE: rapporteurs will be assigned; there will be coffee
and refreshments so that groups may take a break].
12:00: Plenary - reports from working groups on the five topics
13:30: Lunch
