The health and science policy leaders including Kurokawa discussed under the theme of “Science and Global Health: The Role of Basic Science.” The Forum called on each speaker to pose radical suggestions for what science can do to improve health globally, and identify the obstacles that stand in the way.
* The Kavli Foundation was established in December 2000 by its founder and benefactor, Fred Kavli, a prominent California business leader and noted philanthropist whose foundation is currently actively involved in establishing major research institutes at leading universities and institutions in the United States, Europe and Asia.
The Kavli Prize was established in 2008 through a joint venture between the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters, the Norwegian Ministry of Education and Research, and the foundation. The main objective for the Prize is to honor, support and recognize scientists for outstanding scientific work in the fields of astrophysics, nanoscience and neuroscience and award three international prizes every second year.
