Popularizing science and science competitions

Abstract

This positional paper addresses the fact that while the present civilization is the outcome of hard labor of scientists and engineers, our society appears to fall behind in ensuring continuity of scientific endeavor through providing knowledge workers sufficient incentives for their sleepless nights and unselfish commitment to science and technology and to mankind. In this article we emphasize necessity of science and popularizing it to science students, scientific workers and common mass through innovative competitions and dissemination through mass media. This will keep young people with aptitude in science involved in the education of science and technology and thus help sustainable development of civilization through science and technology. © 2024 IOI, Vilnius University.
