The Knowledge Society - Why and How: Role of Science and Culture

This is a power point presentation conducted by Ivo Slaus from World Academy of Art and Science. First the author presents many statistics on major problems in the world today (terrorism, poverty etc). He emphasises the meaning of education and research. He states that knowledge is the main resource in a knowledge-society as it permeates the life and the culture of a society: policy- and decision-making and it implies a long-term and global perspective.
