WORLD SCIENCE DAY FOR PEACE AND DEVELOPMENT

World Science Day for Peace and Development

“Every year, World Science Day is celebrated around the globe on 10 November. This year’s theme is Investing in science: investing in knowledge, a theme which intentionally mirrors that of the World Science Forum taking place in Budapest from 8 to 10 November. The Forum will be taking stock of the state of investment in R&D and the hurdles countries face in stepping up R&D intensity, including extreme poverty and lack of capacity.
