Indeed inequality correlates with many socio-economic bads, and it’s rise has been a persistent trend in the last half century. The accumulation of empirical evidences on inequality and its correlates calls for a parallel effort to…
This conference aims to bring together physicists to explore the interconnections between the physics of the two infinities. In search of new discoveries, these fields explore what the Universe is made of, or was made of, and what its basic laws are on the smallest and largest scales. The history of our universe has been…
ISC organizes a webinar as part of its Distinguished Lectures Series: “From the Theory of Ice Ages to IPCC climate projections”. Despite improved understanding of global and regional climate change and increased model complexity, the relative contribution of different feedbacks (clouds, ocean circulation, vegetation and its coupling with water and carbon cycles, ice…) continues to…

La journée interroge la situation des sciences fondamentales dans le contexte du développement soutenable : fertilisations croisées, nouvelle dimension de l’éthique, soutenabilité des actions de recherche. Articulation entre savoirs fondamentaux et soutenabilité, éthique scientifique à l’heure de la crise écologique, pratiques de la recherche seront discutés sous forme d’interventions et de tables rondes de scientifiques…
Basic research studies that are transdisciplinary in nature, create partnerships across the life sciences, social sciences, and environmental sciences and can greatly accelerate our transition to a more sustainable world. To support such collaborations, we need the support of policymakers, science funding leaders, universities, and those in government. In 2023, HFSP aims to be the…
This program, supported by the Office of Astronomy for Development aims at introducing Astronomy Clubs in secondary schools and monitoring their activities with hope of nurturing them growth. The activities of the clubs will spur more interest basic STEM education in the rural students which we hope will encourage participation in the field of science…
The AfAS annual conference focuses on the science, outreach, communication, and education activities emanating from Astronomy in Africa. It seeks to enhance further collaborations among countries in Africa and the rest of the world. It also focuses on the status of astronomy infrastructure, the International Astronomical Union General Assembly in Cape Town in 2024 (IAU-GA2024),…
The Science for Peace Schools are designed to encourage participants from various parliaments to work together and experience, in person, the scientific cooperation model. The advanced training scheme will focus on an evidence-based approach in addressing global and regional challenges. Such an approach, integrated with operational and collaborative models derived from the world of scientific…
