World Science Day for Peace and Development is being observed
The UNESCO established the World Science Day for Peace and Development through a proclamation at a general conference in 2001. The day was first celebrated on November 10, 2002.
NOVEMBER 10 is observed as 'World Science Day for Peace and Development' (WSDPD) to highlight the contribution of science for sustainable development and in enhancing the prospects for peace.
The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) established the WSDPD through a proclamation at a general conference in 2001. The day was first celebrated on November 10, 2002, and has been held annually on November 10 since then.
Since 2002, UNESCO works with people, government agencies and organisations to promote the WSDPD each year.
Today, UNESCO is holding the Inter-Parliamentary Forum of Science, Technology and Innovation for the Mediterranean Region at Headquarters in Paris. The occasion will also mark the launching of 'The UNESCO Science Report-2010'. The event in Paris is meant to promote dialogue about science, technology and innovation policy by bringing together parliamentarians, scientists and journalists from the Mediterranean Region.
Another highlight of the UNESCO event is the exhibition on Arabic sciences along with the display of other scientific exhibits.
The WSDPD celebrations in various institutions and the public level generally include: Open sessions to highlight role of science in peace and development; discussions to emphasise how science and technology affect daily life; science exhibitions and distributing the WSDPD posters; visits to science museums and technology parks; talks on careers in science, scientific presentations and gender issues in science and technology.
