World Science Forum 2011. Budapest, Day 2/5 - Forum of global fora: sharing knowledge for global challenges
18 November 14:30 - 16:30 PLENARY SESSION V. Forum of global fora: sharing knowledge for global challenges
Chaired by: Dong-Pil Min, Honorary Chairman Seoul S&T Forum
A tudomány katalizátor, legyen szó akár oktatásról, gazdaságról, nemzetközi fejlesztésről vagy más fontos területekről - hangsúlyozták a nemzetközi fórumok képviselői.
A globális fórumok fóruma, a tudás megosztása a globális kihívások legyőzésére című plenáris ülésen elhangzott, fejleszteni kell a párbeszédet, hogy elérjék a célt: a nagyobb összefogást az emberiség érdekében. Ezt szolgálja a globális fórumok fóruma - értettek egyet az ázsiai, európai és amerikai szervezetek képviselői, valamint az OECD és a Világbank képviselője.
Professor Dong-Pil Min recently completed 3 years of his chairmanship at the Korea Research Council of Fundamental Science and Technology (KRCF) which establishes the policies of 13 Korean government-funded research institutions as their common Board of Trustees. In 2010 he launched an international forum of public research institutes for science and science policy, Seoul Science & Technology Forum, to provide an arena for the serious discussion about global challenges and to start an effective cooperation against them.
He led the “Science and Business Belt Task Force” of the 17th Presidential Transition committee in 2008. Min previously held several leadership positions including vice president of Koran Physical Society, Chair of National Information Research Center Council and Director General of Korea Research Foundation. For the previous 28 years he was Professor of Physics & Astronomy at Seoul National University. Min received his Ph.D and Docteur-es-Science in Theoretical Physics from the University of Paris in 1976 and 1980 respectively.

A nemzetközi fórumok nagyon sokat tehetnek, és nem csak a politika és a tudomány terén - hangsúlyozta Tong Pil Min, a plenáris ülés elnöke. "A tudomány világtérképét mi változtatjuk meg a párbeszéddel és a tudás megosztásával a globális kihívások megválaszolására. A probléma lehet globális, a megoldások viszont lokálisak- emelte ki a dél-koreai szakember, a szöuli S&T Forum tiszteletbeli elnöke.
Joshua Mandell, World Bank, STI Global Forum

Joshua Mandell, a Világbank tudományos és technológiai programjának felelőse arról beszélt, hogy a nemzetközi fejlesztés gondjainak megoldása a tudomány , a technológia és az innováció révén valósulhat meg. A Világbank folyamatosan keresi annak lehetőségét, hogy a tudomány és technológia kivehesse részét a fejlesztésből. A Világbank szerint olyan akciótervek kellenek - a szervezet maga is ilyet állított össze -, amelyeket a fejlődés érdekében valamennyi ország felhasználhat, és igényei szerint alakíthat.
Tomihiro Taniguchi, Japan STS forum
Tanigucsi Tomihiro, a japán STS Forum igazgatója szerint a globális fórumok összehozzák a politikai vezetőket, a politikacsinálókat, az üzletembereket, a tudósokat, hogy az egyenlőség elve alapján alakítsák a folyamatokat. A legfontosabb kérdések között az energiát és a környezetet, a nukleáris biztonságot, a globális egészségügyet nevezte meg. A globális fórumoknak a tudomány bevonásával kell válaszokkal szolgálniuk az idősödő társadalmak jelentette problémákra, a városok fenntarthatóságára, az urbanizációra, valamint az élelmezésre. Mindezekben kiemelt szerep jut a diplomáciának.
