Now, with major global-scale challenges such as climate change, energy demand and the sustainability of societies, it is of paramount importance to engage and empower more and more people through science, as a key means to informed decision-making to address such issues. Our efforts are critical to the future of humanity’s well-being and the health of our planet.
Many institutions and individuals around the world contribute to strengthening scientific culture through public communication of science. But more needs to be done. Therefore, in 2020 a group of institutions launched the initiative of the International Day of Scientific Culture.
The institutions who founded the initiative in 2020 was Mexican Society for the Communication of Science and Technology, Mouvement International pour le Loisir Scientifique Et Technique (MILSET), Youth Science and Technology Activities National Network (Mexico), Mexican Network of Science Recreation Workshops, Fibonacci • Innovation and Scientific Culture (Mexico), CIENTEC Foundation (Costa Rica), Distance State University (Costa Rica), National Laboratory of Nanotechnology (Costa Rica).
This year the IDSC will be celebrated by various organizations, among which are Universities, Research Centers, Scientific Associations, State and National Councils of Science and Technology, Networks of researchers and science communicators, Museums and Science Centers, Civil Associations, among others.
If you wish to formally join the celebration, send an institutional letter to the e-mail Esta dirección de correo electrónico está siendo protegida contra los robots de spam. Necesita tener JavaScript habilitado para poder verlo. or register here: https://forms.gle/hG8Csd5C5uZCbgEy6
