September 21-23, 2005 - Venice, Italy

FIRST WORLD CONFERENCE ON THE FUTURE OF SCIENCE

Organised by
Umberto Veronesi Foundation, Fondazione Giorgio Cini, Fondazione Silvio
Tronchetti Provera.

"The idea of this conference springs from an awareness that the problems
and dilemmas generated by unrelenting scientific and technological
progress are not being adequately discussed in society as a whole.

As science exerts an ever more pervasive influence on our lives, society
seems ill-informed about the short and long term implications of
scientific advance, little interested in strategic decisions regarding
investment in research, and unaware of the social, economic and cultural
consequences of the continuing technological revolution.

Experts of international renown from various spheres and disciplines will
be invited to give their points of view on these issues, which are crucial
to the destiny of our society.

Umberto Veronesi"
