Under the "Science in the Public
Service" Campaign, a series of popular science talks are scheduled to
take place from September 2009 to March 2010 at the Lecture Hall of
Hong Kong Science Museum, Tsim Sha Tsui East, Kowloon. The
event is met with enthusiastic support from partners of the
Campaign. It will feature a record-breaking number of experts
delivering a total of more than 20 talks. The lectures will
introduce to the participants how government bureaux/departments have
been using science and technology in planning their development and in
serving the public. It enhances our knowledge on science and
technology, and understanding of their service and
operations. Details of the lecture series, including the
date, time and speakers etc., can be found at http://www.science.gov.hk/eng/info-talks.htm
The "Science in the Public Service" Campaign will also invite
participation in a "Student Project Competition" at the beginning of
the new 2009-10 school year. The Campaign held a similar
event in 2007 and the theme then was "Climate Change - What can we
do?". The theme for this year is "How do Applications of
Science and Technology Enhance Quality of Life?". More
details
will be made available later. The Education Bureau will also
help to promote the activity.
Last but not least, an "Online Quiz" is the next event in the
pipeline. It will be conducted towards the end of this
year. The winners will be awarded with some fabulous
prizes. More details of the competition will be made
available soon. Please join and support our activities!
