World Science Day


The world observes World Science Day every year on November 10, highlighting the role of science in society and the need to engage people to actively debate on more scientific issues. This day underlines the importance and relevance of science in our daily lives. 

The World Science Day for Peace and Development aims to make sure that students are aware of the latest developments in science. It also underscores the role scientists play in broadening our understanding and making this society more sustainable.

World Science Day for Peace and Development: History

The ideas of World Science Day for Peace and Development were first proposed during the World Conference on Science that took place in Budapest, Hungary, in 1999. UNESCO and the International Council for Science organised the conference to raise people's awareness about the impact of science on society.

Thereafter, UNESCO declared November 10 as the World Science Day in 2001. The purpose is to connect science to everyday life showing how scientific discoveries solve global problems like poverty, environmental protection, and health challenges.

World Science Day for Peace and Development shows the importance of science and scientists for sustainable development and the need to inform and involve citizens in science. It is also an opportunity to show the world about science's relevance in daily life and engage them in daily conversation.
