World Science Day for Peace and Development – 10th Nov

Science deals with the study of the process and occurrences that we see in the world around us. It deals with the study of facts that are verifiable and when observed facts are studied systematically it becomes a science. And to link science more closely with society, World or International Science Day is celebrated to ensure that citizens are kept informed of developments in science and also to maintain peace about the merits and demerits of science.

The world conference on science in Budapest, Hungary, in July 1999, which was co-organized by UNESCO and the International Council for Science. The delegations of Ethiopia and Malawi, together with the British Association for the Advancement of Science, proposed that a World Science Day of world science week be created. The General Conference brings all member states of UNESCO together every two years to adopt the program and budget for the coming biennium and it was decided by the General Conference to proclaim 10th November of each year World or International Science Day for development, peace and to encourage every individual who are associated with this topic to participate in events.

World Science Day for Peace and Development is celebrated on 10th November every year with great enthusiasm and with serious note and it highlights the important role that science has in society. It is celebrated with various objectives like it promotes national and international solidarity for shared science between countries. It also helps to strengthen public awareness on the roles of science for peaceful and sustainable societies. It also has other important objectives like to renew national and international commitment for the use of science for the benefit of societies and draws attention to the challenges faced by science and raising support for the scientific endeavor.
