Technology and Culture of Peace."

In only one generation, what seemed a near
certainty of progress towards a better world for
all has given way to doubts and to the risk of a
social, ecological and ethical regression. If
science and technology is to contribute to human
social progress, the civil society needs to ensure
that its choices are guided by democracy and
peace.
Science and technology should contribute
substantially to reorient the development of our
societies towards a culture of peace for the
benefit of all citizens: better living conditions
and health, better use of resources and respect
for the biosphere, a renewed conception of
economic and social efficiency. A reorientation
of development based on science and technology is
needed to fight against all forms of obscurantism
(the deliberate withholding or obscuring of
information and knowledge).
Key issues to be addressed during the conference
include: what are the social and institutional
conditions that can promote science, technology
and culture of peace? How can we produce and
disseminate a culture of peace based on the
teaching of science and technology? How can
scientists "cultivate" science and technology to
better ensure economic, social and human progress?
The University of Evry hopes for extensive
participation in the symposium. See the program and
