Entering its fifth year, "Science in the Public Service" Campaign will begin a popular science talk series in late October 2010 at Hong Kong Science Museum in Tsim Sha Tsui East. The theme of this year is "Quality Lifestyle starts from Science - Dressing, Eating, Living, Commuting and Having Fun". The talk series will introduce how the government uses science and technology in planning their development and in serving the public. It enhances public's knowledge on science and technology, and helps to better understand the government's service and operations. You are most welcome to attend.

The Campaign will also participate in the Innovation Carnival held at the Hong Kong Science Park in November 2010. Partner departments will set up booths to introduce their works to the public.

In addition, we will also hold a photo competition later. The interim theme is "Dressing, Eating, Living and Community - Quality Lifestyle". Details of the competition will be announced later.  The activities will be promoted through different channels. Please join and support our activities!
