Special Focus

Focus on Young Scientists

"When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong."

-- Arthur C. Clarke's First Law

Many Young Scientists have been selected from around the world to actively participate in The World Knowledge Dialogue.
