People, Planet, Peace

Mankind faces enormous challenges. The presence of seven billion people on one small planet poses problems and creates the potential for conflict on issues like the best ways to share raw materials, food and water, or to tackle environmental problems. New scientific knowledge and technological innovation may help to prevent conflict by providing part of the solution. Science centres and museums raise general public awareness of these issues. This is the reason for choosing People, Planet, Peace as the theme of the 25th Ecsite Annual Conference – a theme that is well-suited both to the Museon and to The Hague, as one of the host cities of the United Nations.

Over the next few years, the Museon (a museum for culture and science that receives 190,000 visitors a year) will be turning itself into a Global Museum. As such, it will address worldwide issues and reveal how each of us is linked in all sorts of unexpected ways with people and areas in other parts of the world. Although the issues are serious, the approach will be positive and future- oriented: even as individuals, each of us can help to make the world a better place and keep it that way.

With this message in mind, I wish the members of Ecsite a delightful visit to The Hague and a pleasant and fruitful 25th Ecsite Annual Conference. The city of The Hague, with its comfortable hotels, interesting museums and beautiful beaches, and the high professional standards of the World Forum conference centre will together guarantee an agreeable stay in the Netherlands and a productive conference. I shall be proud to welcome you to The Hague on 22 May in the company of Her Majesty Queen Máxima of the Netherlands!
