public with the free dissemination of scientific knowledge in the form of seminars,

workshops, exhibitions, panel discussions, informal gathering, conferences and

symposiums. The details are available on the website http://www.khwarizmi.org and also available

as an Appendix. Some recent accomplishments include the receipt of several international awards for

the Society.
