Budapest, November 4 (MTI) – The president of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences (MTA) opened the World Science Forum conference in Budapest on Wednesday evening.
In his address Laszlo Lovasz said that the conference’s title “The Enabling Power of Science” reflects the ever-increasing role played by science in opening up new avenues for human and economic development, confronting hunger and diseases, tackling the ever growing demand for energy and providing the economic foundations for an improved quality of life for all.
The goal of the WSF, organised for the seventh time, is to give a deeper insight into some of the most pressing issues around climate change, renewable energy, disaster risk reduction, global health policies or the practices and pitfalls in the governance of science on all continents, Lovasz said.
