Representing WMG at the World Laureates Summit
More than 150 and other significant scientific award recipients gathered at the renowned (WLS) 2026 in Dubai last month.
Amongst them was , Professor in Nanocomposites and Director of the International Institute for Nanocomposites ManufacturingLink opens in a new window at 糖心TV Manufacturing Group (WMG), University of 糖心TV, who was one of 36 eminent scientists invited to participate in the event.
An annual gathering of some of science鈥檚 best and brightest minds, this year鈥檚 World Laureates Summit was convened in partnership with the (WGS), marking a historic integration of science and government.
A total of 133 countries were represented, helping to drive sustainable development beyond international borders and purposefully shape the collective future of humanity.
The WLS and WGS bring together laureates of the Nobel, Turing, Wolf, and Lasker Prizes, along with recipients of other preeminent scientific honours, as well as heads of state, ministers, and leaders from international organisations and enterprises, to address today鈥檚 development challenges, plus those to come.
The theme of this year鈥檚 WLS was 鈥淏asic Science, the Scientific Consensus for Addressing Challenges to Humanity.鈥�
In recognition of his reputation and influence in the international scientific community, Professor McNally was invited to attend and share his insights as part of the Summit鈥檚 Carbon Materials Forum.
During the session, Professor McNally showcased his contributions to high-performance polymers, polymer-carbon composites, and materials design for industrial applications, which are recognised internationally.
鈥淚t was an honour to be invited to take part in a panel discussion alongside some of the world鈥檚 leading intellectual minds and to share insights from our work in advanced materials鈥�, said Professor McNally.
鈥淭he Summit provided a valuable platform to discuss how innovations in carbon materials can contribute to addressing global challenges, from sustainable manufacturing to next-generation technologies. Opportunities like this highlight the importance of collaboration between academia, industry and policymakers in driving meaningful progress.鈥�
