Diversity towards sustainability

Challenges faced by humanity such as climate change, biodiversity loss, pollution and poverty should be addressed by science and technology. Science comprises of many fields: physics, chemistry, biology, mathematics and statistics. The diversity in the fields of studies should be the catalyst for researchers to work together in making the world a better place for future generations. Indeed, sustainability of our world depends on physicists, chemists, biologists, mathematicians and statisticians, to name a few. As Kenneth Blanchard once said “none of us is as smart as all of us”, this noble endeavour requires all of us, working hand in hand, to realize the vision of this year’s conference “Diversity towards sustainability”.
