This quarterly newsletter provides information on the work of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) in the field of natural sciences.

Between 2002 and 2011, A World of Science was distributed regularly in approximately 11,000 copies in 192 countries, including to all governments and parliaments and to numerous scientific bodies, intergovernmental organizations, NGOs, universities and schools, many of which subscribed to the free print edition.

In 2012, A World of Science ceased to exist in print, for lack of funding. Individuals and institutions may continue to register for a free e-subscription (online version).

A World of Science is published in Arabic, English, French, Russian and Spanish by the Natural Sciences Sector. The current issue and all previous issues dating back to October 2002 may be consulted freely.

Copyright: All articles may be reproduced providing that A World of Science, UNESCO and the authors of the articles are credited. Specific authorization from the copyright holder is required to reproduce photos. Please contact the editor for details.
