As the institution’s most representative forum for policy discussion since 1996, the “KAST Roundtable Discussions” is established to formulate long-term visions and development strategies, and to explore solutions for pending issues in science & technology.

Distinguished scholars of KAST and other experts in diverse areas discuss in depth extensive issues that directly affect people’s lives and policies in science and technology.

KAST would like to hold an event on the topic, “The Role of Basic Science in Overcoming the Crisis of Energy and Climate” to inform political decision-makers of the background and purpose of IYBSSD 2022.

And KAST also encourages scientists, stakeholders in all categories, and the public to exchange opinions regarding basic science by broadcasting the event on YouTube.
