At the Fifth Annual Meeting of the Science and Technology in Society (STS) forum held in Kyoto, 6 October 2008, Serageldin chaired a plenary session discussing “Biofuels and their Potential Effect on Food Production and the Environment”. This year’s meeting was held under the themes “Harmony with Nature” and “How is Information and Communication Technology Affecting Humankind?”.
The Science and Technology in Society (STS) forum, registered as a non-profit organization (NPO) since March 2006, holds an annual meeting from the first Sunday in October every year, in Kyoto, creating a global human network providing a framework for open discussions regarding the further progress of science and technology for the sake of humankind while controlling ethical, safety and environmental issues resulting from it.
The forum gathers top leaders in government, science and industry from all over the world.
