Umzi wozakuzo we-UAE kunye neZiko laseSmithsonia lokusebenzisana kumxholo wenkcubeko kunye neenkqubo zophuhliso lwamakhono

Ummeli we-United Arab Emirates (UAE) u-Yousef Al Otaiba kunye noNobhala we-Smithsonian uGqirha David J. Skorton basayine iMemorandam yokuQonda (MOU) eya kuphucula utshintshiselwano lwenkcubeko kunye nokudala amathuba amatsha entsebenziswano phakathi kweSmithsonian Institution kunye ne-UAE-based yenkcubeko kunye nophando. imibutho.

I-MOU ichonga iindawo ezininzi zentsebenziswano yexesha elizayo, kubandakanywa uphuhliso lweenkqubo zokwakha ulwazi, ezifana nokuthantamisa umgama, iindibano zocweyo zoqeqesho, ukuqeqeshwa kwamathuba omsebenzi kunye nobudlelwane obuya kuxhasa iinzame zokwakha amandla kulo lonke icandelo lenkcubeko le-UAE.

Abalawuli bemyuziyam ye-UAE, abagcini, abagcini bezinto zakudala kunye nabaphandi baya kusebenza kunye nabalingane kwi-Smithsonian ukuchonga amathuba okubambisa imisitho, ukuqhuba uphando oludibeneyo kunye neenkqubo zesayensi, ukuphuhlisa intsebenziswano okanye umboniso, okanye ukupapasha amanqaku emfundo. I-MOU ikwachonga amathuba okunceda ngophuhliso lweenkqubo ezintsha zemfundo ye-STEM kwi-UAE kusetyenziswa ikharityhulamu ye-Smithsonian kunye nezibonelelo.

“Imyuziyam ye-UAE kunye necandelo lenkcubeko likhula ngesantya esikhawulezayo, kwaye iinzame ezintsha ziyaqhubeka ukugcina ilifa lelizwe kunye nokufumanisa ulwazi olutsha. Njengoko la macandelo ekhula, kubalulekile ukuba imibutho ye-UAE isebenze namaqabane akwiklasi angcono kakhulu anokwabelana ngolwazi kunye neendlela ezifanelekileyo, utshilo ummeli we-UAE u-Yousef Al Otaiba. "Awukho omnye umbutho onamava okanye ububanzi bobuchwephesha beSmithsonian, kwaye siyakuvuyela ukunceda ukusungula eli nyathelo litsha."

I-UAE kunye neSmithsonian zinembali yentsebenziswano kuphando, ulondolozo kunye neenkqubo zobugcisa. Kwi-2016, abaphandi abavela kwi-Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute basebenze kunye ne-Arhente ye-Environment yase-Abu Dhabi ukubuyisela umhlambi we-orix ene-scimitar-horned endle. Esi silwanyana saphela endle ukusukela phakathi kwiminyaka yoo-1980. Abalondolozi be-Smithsonian, abaphandi kunye nabagcini baye batshintshiselana ngolwazi malunga nezona ndlela zisebenzayo, uqeqesho kunye nophuhliso lwemyuziyam kunye nemibutho yenkcubeko yase-UAE. Oku kubandakanya amagqabantshintshi akutsha nje kunye nobunkokeli obuvela kwiMyuziyam yeSizwe yaseZayed ye-UAE, eya kwakhiwa kwiSiqithi saseSaadiyat e-UAE.

"Le MOU idala amathuba amatsha ku-Smithsonian kunye ne-Embassy ye-UAE ukuba iqabane kumanyathelo ahlukeneyo, iziganeko kunye nezinye iinkqubo," kusho uNobhala uSkorton. "Ngentsebenziswano yethu yangoku-kunye nezo siza kuzenza kwixesha elizayo-siyakwakha unxibelelwano olukhulu phakathi koluntu lwethu."

I-MOU iza emva kotyelelo kwi-UAE ngabathunywa ababequka amagosa aphezulu akwaSmithsonian, abagcini, kunye nabafundisi. Injongo yolu tyelelo yayikukuchonga iiprojekthi ezintsha, uphando kunye neziganeko ezinokuqaqambisa iinguqulelo zenkcubeko kunye namagcisa avela kwi-UAE kunye nokukhuthaza ukutshintshiselana ngenkcubeko phakathi kwezizwe ezimbini.

Ngokuvulwa kweemyuziyam ezikumgangatho wehlabathi, ezifana neLouvre Abu Dhabi, iigalari, iindawo zembali, amaziko okusebenza kunye nezinye iindawo zenkcubeko, i-UAE iye yaba liziko lobugcisa kuMbindi Mpuma. Nyaka ngamnye, amakhulu amawaka abathandi bezobugcisa kunye nabaqokeleli abavela kwihlabathi liphela bandwendwela i-UAE ye-Art Dubai, iVeki yoYilo lwaseDubai, ubuGcisa buka-Abu Dhabi okanye iSharjah Biennial.

“Ubugcisa budibanisa abantu kwimida kunye neenkcubeko. Le MOU ivumela i-Embassy ye-UAE ukuba isebenzise amandla apheleleyo entsebenziswano kunye ne-Smithsonian, "utshilo uMmeli u-Al Otaiba. “Ngesi sivumelwano, siya kukwazi ukurhweba ngezimvo ezikumgangatho ophakamileyo kwaye sibonelele ngamathuba amatsha okubonisa iinkwenkwezi eziphuma e-UAE eUnited States.”

Ukusukela ekusekweni kwayo ngo-1846, iSmithsonian Institution izibophelele ekukhuthazeni izizukulwana ngolwazi kunye nokufumanisa. I-Smithsonian yeyona myuziyam inkulu ehlabathini, imfundo kunye nophando, ebandakanya iimyuziyam ezili-19, iNational Zoological Park kunye nezixhobo zophando ezilithoba. Kukho abasebenzi abangama-6,500 bakwaSmithsonian kunye namavolontiya angama-6,300. Kukho i-30 yezigidi zokutyelela kwi-Smithsonian kwi-2016. Inani elipheleleyo lezinto, imisebenzi yobugcisa kunye nemizekelo kwi-Smithsonian iqikelelwa malunga ne-154 yezigidi, apho i-145 yezigidi ziyimizekelo yesayensi kwi-National Museum of Natural History.
