The World Science Day is a date that was proposed at the World’s Scientific Conference in Budapest in 1999 in order to draw the attention to the need of a relation between science and society. UNESCO established the World Science Day for Peace and Development and it was celebrated for the first time on November 10th, 2002.
This year, at the tenth anniversary of the World Science Day, the events topic is “Science for Global Sustainability: connectivity, collaboration, transformation.” This topic shows that the strong cooperation between the international communities, including all governments, international organizations, civil society, academia and the private sector is the only way to achieve the overall development and sustainability.
The first time this date was celebrated in Serbia, was on November 10th, 2011 on the initiative of the Center for the Promotion of Science. This year, CPN marks the day with the goal of high lightening the need to strengthen public awareness of the role of science in achieving a sustainable and peaceful society.
