World Science Day for Peace and Development has been celebrated around the world since 2002 to commemorate the commitment made at the World Science Conference held in Budapest in 1999 under the auspices of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization and the International Council for Science.
Its purpose is to renew the commitment to science in the service of peace and development, both nationally and internationally, and to emphasize the responsible use of science for the benefit of societies, in particular for the eradication of poverty.
