Science Lectures
"Science in the Public Service" Forum and Lecture Series |
"Science in the Public Service" is a joint campaign organised by government bureaux/departments and other organisations to promote their scientific work and application of technology to the provision of services for the general public. Themed on "Science in Everyday Life", a series of activities will be held from August to December this year. Participants will get a better understanding on the application of science in the daily life, thereby improving the scientific literacy of the public and their quality of life.
