The meeting aimed at making known the Beacon of Scientific Research; its vision, mission, and objectives; and what has been fulfilled to develop its structure. This is in addition to serving as a reminder of the praise it received from some websites for the success it achieved and for being distinguished. There was also an extensive discussion on the areas of the Beacon of Scientific Research in its previous round; these areas were distributed to the work team that has recently been formed, and new areas were added. The new areas are consistent with the modern orientations and methods of scientific research that depend on software, and some interdisciplinary approaches. 

The meeting ended with a set of recommendations to upgrade the Beacon of Scientific Research and refashion its periodic meetings for attaining the best outputs and leadership in its field.
