 On October 1, the first "Lange Nacht
der Forschung" ("Night of Research") will take place in Innsbruck,
Linz, and Vienna. Following the motto "into science!" more than 70
academic, non-academic, and commercial institutions will open their
laboratory doors to the public. Starting from three "Treffpunkten
Forschung" ("meeting places for research") located in the respective
city centers, 13 shuttle bus routes – defined as “X.PEDITIONEN” – will
lead to several sites of research. Each of these 150 sites gives
insight into the various positions of contemporary research on the
extensively discussed issue of security.

AustroMars is Austria’s largest and most unusual space exploration
simulation project. A combination of vision, science, technology and
fascination will set the stage for this nearly month-long mock Mars
landing in the Utah desert. “Astronauts” will replicate in exact detail
a manned Mars landing and will be supported not only by Austrian
scientists and space experts and Mission Control Center, but also by
many enthusiastic volunteers.

At the root of many obstacles
hindering sustainable development in Africa today one often finds
problems susceptible to scientifically-driven solutions. Tackling
challenges such as AIDS, malaria, hunger, lack of safe water, and high
maternal mortality is central to the Millennium Development Goals (MDG)
for 2015. Innovative science and technology solutions will be essential
to their achievement. Science also has a central role in identifying
sustainable and effective means to alleviate poverty and create the
modicum of wealth needed for advancement. Africa, though, has limited
and unevenly distributed scientific capacity, and the capacity found in
academia and industry is not sufficiently integrated into national and
regional policymaking to have the desired impact on policy and
planning.

As an African-born scientist who has
devoted much of my career to the promotion of science and technology
(S&T) in the developing world, I have been heartened by the recent
progress that has been made in building scientific capacity in
developing countries.
