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.
Read the Director-General’s message to mark the occasion of World Science Day.
