scientists for sustainable societies and in the need to inform and involve

of science in their lives and to engage them in discussions. Such a venture
would also bring a unique perspective to the global search for peace and
development.
World Science Day for Peace and Development is an opportunity for
us to confirm the potential of the science to build a better world. It is
fundamentally through human intelligence, scientific research and innovation
