USERN
The Universal Scientific Education and Research Network is a non-profit organization and network for non-military scientific investigation and policy-making. USERN was established on January 1, 2016, and the basic statutes of USERN were drafted on January 21, 2015. The official inauguration of the statutes was held on November 10, 2016, the UN Day of Science for Peace and Development.
USERN is an organization dedicated to promoting ethical and professional scientific research and education, as well as advancing science for non-military purposes.
Membership
USERN began its official activity in early 2016, and following the first meeting, has encouraged individuals to become members via the USERN website. However, the USERN website has been criticized for its functionality, as users have frequently experienced difficulties logging in, changing their passwords, or modifying their pages.USERN Prize
The USERN Prize is an international award annually bestowed to junior scientists or researchers less than 40 years of age for any novel advancement or achievement in scientific education, research, or serving humanity in five scientific fields including medical sciences, life sciences, formal sciences, physical sciences, and social sciences.USERN Prize Awarding Festival
The closing day of congress and awarding the international rewards ceremony of USERN, the universal scientific education and research network prize or USERN prize will be awarded in 10 November the World Science Day for Peace and Development to 5 young scholars under 40 ages in different theoretical sciences, Physics sciences, Environmental Sciences, Medical Sciences, and Social Sciences.USERN Laureates 2016
