Since its first appearance in 2007, ATAST (Tunisian Association for the Future of Sciences and Technology, or l’Association Tunisienne pour l’Avenir des Sciences et Technologie, as it is abbreviated in French) has continually proved itself serious and dedicated in paving the road of scientific and technological development in Tunisia. ATAST started transforming from a small school club into the association it is today, with its establishment as an official scientific association dating to 2011, since then ATAST members have honorably represented Tunisia in many International Festivals and competitions. The Tunisian Representatives are selected by a team of dedicated supervisors.
