INTERNATIONAL COMPETITION TO WIN TRAVEL GRANTS The scientific program will include the laureates’ lectures as well as popular science lectures by some of the world’s leading science communicators. There will also be symposia in astrophysics, nanoscience and neuroscience where inter- national experts within these fields will participate. The Kavli Prize Science Forum was established to facilitate high-level, global discussion of major topics on science and science policy. Science and education is the most likely topic for next year’s Science Forum.
