National Science Week 2026 Hosted by University of Nottingham Malaysia in Partnership with MOSTI
The Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation (MOSTI) has officially launched National Science Week (Minggu Sains Negara) 2026 in collaboration with University of Nottingham Malaysia. The initiative aims to strengthen STEM engagement and promote Artificial Intelligence (AI) literacy nationwide, supporting Malaysia’s transition towards an innovation-driven economy under the National Policy on Science, Technology and Innovation (DSTIN) 2021–2030.
The event also marked the soft launch of UNM’s STEAM-AI Impact Centre, designed to expand access to AI education, enhance STEM participation, and bridge the digital divide. The Centre focuses on simplifying complex concepts, reaching over 10,000 students, and promoting inclusive learning through affordable programmes and tools like X-Mind.
Featuring MOSTI TECHtalks 2026, the programme highlighted AI’s role in national competitiveness, while emphasising ethical, inclusive, and human-centric innovation for sustainable development across Malaysia.
