Narendra D. Deshmukh, from HBCSE-TIFR, Mumbai and Sudhir Kumbhar, from RES, Satara, will conduct two workshops for high school students et teachers, and student-teaches and teacher educators on ‘Solutions to Plastic Pollution.’ These two sessions will be conducted in local languages. Plastic waste exposed to the environment creates a huge problem in the modern world.…
Large scientific facilities like the European XFEL benefit from a collaborative and interdisciplinary approach to software development. While software projects often start with a specific scientific problem or experimental setup in mind, the large data volumes produced at the European XFEL and the complex nature of the facility’s experimental end stations necessitate adherence to modern…
The Rights of Nature grant ecosystems the right to legal personhood and the right to legal representation by a guardian. The right to legal personhood entitles ecosystems to defend themselves in court against any human-induced or nature-induced destruction or degradation. Rights of Nature activists have utilized various avenues within the justice system and legal remedies…
This panel organized by the Regional Focal Point for Latin America and the Caribbean of the International Science Council, will present an overview of current efforts in the region to respond to urgent environmental and health needs brought about by the Covid 19 pandemic and climate change. The growing response by the scientific community has…
Nossa proposta é uma iniciativa que vai além dos muros da universidade para mostrar que esses espaços podem ser ocupados por todos. Utilizamos várias ferramentas para atingir o nosso propósito: jornadas de divulgação científica, feiras de ciência, ciência na praça, oficinas de capacitação e mão na massa para professores e estudantes, visitas em escolas. Vamos…
International organizations and national laboratories play a crucial part in the fabric of the scientific community. As such they can play an important part in crisis management and sustainability. Sciences for sustainability which, although progressing rapidly, is often characterized by scientific, thematic, geographical, and organizational fragmentation that must be overcome. There is an opportunity that Big…
Experts will discuss how basic science can contribute to find solutions to environmental problems such as E-waste, and how Global South-North dialogue is needed. In this part, we present interviews with them about the issues they will discuss at the Tsukuba Conference 2023, to be held this September 26-28 in Tsukuba City, Japan. Introduction by…
The ITER international fusion project is a unique blend of basic science – to enable scientists to study never-before-seen plasma physics phenomena – and the first-of-a-kind engineering needed to support this research platform. The applied science outcome hoped for, the capacity to harness fusion as a safe, clean, abundant source of energy, builds on fundamental…
