The Erice International Seminars are multidisciplinary seminars
attended by over 100 eminent participants from all fields of
science. Each year, a few scientific issues are selected and
experts are invited to present contrasting views during the plenary
multidisciplinary sessions of the seminar. General debates soon
follow. These sessions offer a unique opportunity for specialists
to broaden their perspectives after being confronted with ideas and
suggestions from high level scientists in complementary domains of
science. Associated workshops allow the experts to further refine
and process the ideas evoked during the seminar. This year's topics
are focused on the World Energy Crisis and more specifically on the
future of nuclear power, the sustainability of biofuels and nuclear
waste. On Global Monitoring of the Planet we have focused on the
climate change issue and specifically on the theoretical basis for
model calculations, on vector-borne and air-borne particulates
disseminating diseases and the crisis in internet security. A full
day session was devoted to the Disarmament and Proliferation
Regime, in collaboration with the Government of Italy and
international institutions.
