Amid rising tensions in one of the world's most volatile regions, an audacious project to use science for diplomacy is taking shape in the heart of the Middle East.
In this land of ancient hatreds, a highly sophisticated scientific installation is being built in Jordan.
It has support from countries that are usually openly hostile to each other.
The plan is for a multi-million-pound synchrotron particle accelerator, known as Sesame.

SESAME on track for first experiments in 2015

The SESAME Council met on 30 and 31 May at the El Hassan Science City (EHSC) in Amman  (Jordan), courtesy of Her Royal Highness Princess Sumaya Bint El Hassan, President of the EHSC.  Welcoming Delegates, Her Royal Highness stated that: "There is a great deal to celebrate at this meeting as we record that the SESAME project is making real and meaningful progress. We are all aware that SESAME's location in Jordan places it at a crossroads for regional peace-building and development. This has never been more relevant as the region shifts towards a new dynamic of opportunity. As the region's first major international research centre, SESAME will contribute to regional scientific, technical and economic development at a crucial stage in the history of the Middle East. You will be a focal point for regional scientific collaboration and for cross-border networking."

Synchrotron-light for Experimental Science and Applications in the Middle East

SESAME (Synchrotron-light for Experimental Science and Applications in the Middle East) is the Middle East's first major international research centre in the making.
It is a cooperative venture by scientists and governments of the region set up on the model of CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research). It is being developed under the auspices of UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) following the formal approval given for this by the Organization's Executive Board (164th session, May 2002).
It is an autonomous intergovernmental organization at the service of its Members which have full control over its development, exploitation and financial matters. SESAME, which is located at Allan (Jordan), will be a "third generation" synchrotron light source.
