Tanzania is focused on using Science, Technology and Innovation (STI) to make the country better and compete globally. They think that if they spend money on these sectors, it will help them make more money and make life better for their people.
At the inauguration of the fourth Asian and African Stereology Congress hosted by the Nelson Mandela African Institution of Science and Technology (NM-AIST), Professor Peter Msofe, representing the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology, highlighted Tanzania’s determination to harness STI for the benefit of its citizens.
Professor Msofe pointed out that the Ministry wants to invest a lot in training and helping the next generation of scientists. They see these scientists as the ones who will lead Tanzania’s progress through research, technology and innovation. He emphasized that doing good research is not just something nice to have, but it is now an important tool for making life better in our society and the economy.
The ongoing three-day Asian and African Stereology Congress at NM-AIST, organized by Ondokuz Mayıs University in Turkey, has drawn scientists from 10 countries worldwide. This international meeting is designed to help participants learn more about fair ways of studying shapes, interpreting results from counting cells and estimating volumes, and gaining insights into experiments and clinical studies related to shapes and sizes.

Professor Süleyman Kaplan from a Turkish university shared that Turkey has made big progress in studying shapes and sizes, especially in analyzing numbers and categories from statistical data. Since 1997, Turkey has stood out as one of Europe’s leading countries in advancing Stereology.
Stereology, a quantitative and comparative method utilizing planes, lines and points for estimating three-dimensional parameters in morphological studies, focuses on geometrical features such as number, density, length, area and volume.
