On February 13-16, the 6th Middle-East and Africa Regional IAU Meeting (MEARIM VI) was held in The National Research Institute of Astronomy and Geophysics (NRIAG), Cairo, Egypt.

The aim of the 6th MEARIM is to survey the interdisciplinary avenues in the fields of Astronomy and space sciences and to create a solid block of astronomers and centers that can keep the initial momentum of moving astronomy forward in this part of the world, a momentum that will be produced by the MEARIM.

The meeting was intended to bring together the astronomers, observational, theoretical astrophysicists and space scientists and to encourage the interaction and collaboration between them and to associate as many African and Middle East countries as possible. Areg Mickaelian, the Director of the BAO, and Gayane Baleyan also took part in the meeting and presenting reports and posters.
