>> In partnership with UNESCO and ICSU, the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, has established the World Science Forum - Budapest: a world conference series on science, knowledge and society, inspired by the 1999 World Conference on Science organised by UNESCO and ICSU in Budapest to promote the quality of dialogue concerning the new roles and challenges of scientific knowledge within today's global society.
>> The 2011 event is a beginning of a new era in the history of World Science Forum. In order to distribute the achievements of this enterprise and to make it a true world event, the Hungarian Academy of Sciences with the consent of UNESCO, ICSU, and AAAS has proposed to change the format of WSF so that it is organised on every second occasion in a partner country.
>> The main theme of the 2011 Forum will be “The Changing Landscape of Science – Challenges and Opportunities”. With the contribution of world leading scientists and science policy makers it would like to present the geographical, thematic, and social aspects of this subject focusing on some of the most burning issues of science and global society.
