World Science Day for Peace and Development, 10 November 2025
Celebrated every 10 November, World Science Day for Peace and Development highlights the significant role of science in society and the need to involve the wider public in emerging scientific debates. As such, it provides an opportunity to demonstrate the relevance of science in everyday life and encourage public dialogue. This effort also offers a unique perspective in the global pursuit of peace and sustainable development.
In recognition of World Science Day for Peace and Development, MDPI supports the global effort to promote open, inclusive, and impactful scientific exchange. Through open access publishing, we invite readers to explore selected articles, Special Issues, and journals that contribute to advancing science for a more sustainable and peaceful future.
