18TH WORLD SCIENTIFIC CONGRESS: MODERN SCIENCE: THEORY AND PRACTICE

By Janudi Kihansa

The 18th World Scientific Congress, scheduled for November 22, 2024, in St. Petersburg, Russia, will convene preeminent scholars and researchers under the theme, Modern Science: Theory and Practice. Organized by the International University of Fundamental Studies and the International Higher Academic Council, this Congress represents an influential academic platform where theoretical advancements meet practical implementations, with far-reaching implications for scientific research and applied sciences.

Theme: Modern Science: Theory and Practice

In today’s fast-evolving landscape, the interplay between scientific theory and practice is more critical than ever. Modern science is no longer confined to laboratory research and theoretical modeling; instead, it increasingly seeks to address real-world challenges across multiple sectors, including health, technology, environmental sustainability, and industrial innovation. The theme, Modern Science: Theory and Practice, underscores the dynamic, reciprocal relationship between foundational theories and their applications in solving contemporary issues.

From exploring the theoretical underpinnings of quantum computing to understanding the practical applications of genomics in personalized medicine, the Congress will provide a rigorous academic setting for dissecting how modern science evolves from abstract theory to measurable impact. The event invites inquiry into questions such as:

• How do modern theoretical frameworks influence technology development and sustainability practices?
• What role does experimental science play in refining or even redefining established theories?
• How can researchers ensure that their theoretical work leads to tangible benefits for society?

Research Papers from Leading Scientists Worldwide

Hundreds of scholars and scientists from diverse fields will submit their research, each contributing to a rich tapestry of scientific discovery that spans disciplines. Each paper represents a scholarly attempt to bridge theoretical insights with practical applications, covering areas as varied as artificial intelligence, renewable energy, molecular biology, social sciences, and climate science. Through rigorous peer review, these submissions aim to advance not only the fields they represent but also the broader understanding of science as an integrative, solution-oriented discipline.

The Congress will offer structured presentations, debates, and discussions around these papers, encouraging interdisciplinary dialogue that challenges existing paradigms and fosters innovative approaches to complex global problems. By examining these research contributions in both theoretical and applied contexts, the Congress aims to promote research that can lead to real-world improvements, enhancing the credibility and social value of scientific inquiry.

Issuance of Doctorate Professorships and Honorary Degrees

Recognizing contributions to scientific knowledge is central to the mission of this Congress. As part of the event, the International University of Fundamental Studies and the International Higher Academic Council will confer doctorate professorships and honorary degrees to distinguished contributors. This acknowledgment serves to honor individuals whose work has not only advanced scientific understanding but also demonstrated meaningful application, underscoring the importance of scholarship that benefits society.

This conferral of academic titles aligns with the Congress’s objective of promoting a culture of excellence and accountability within academia. By highlighting these honorees, the Congress underscores a commitment to science that is both intellectually rigorous and practically impactful, inspiring future scholars to pursue research with social utility.

Academic Program and Networking Opportunities

The Congress will feature keynote addresses, panel discussions, and interactive sessions designed to foster deep intellectual engagement. Opening remarks by Professor Shanti P. Jayasekera will set the tone for the day, and Chief Coordinator Professor J.S.K. Jayasekara will guide the Congress proceedings. Panel discussions will bring together diverse perspectives on how theories are tested and refined through practical applications. These sessions will examine specific case studies and encourage attendees to consider how theoretical research can more directly inform practical solutions across industries.

Furthermore, this Congress offers unparalleled opportunities for networking. The diverse range of attending scholars and scientists will create a robust academic network that encourages future collaboration. The Congress seeks to build lasting connections that transcend geographic and disciplinary boundaries, fostering a truly global academic community dedicated to the advancement of science for societal benefit.

The 18th World Scientific Congress invites the academic community to engage critically with the theme, Modern Science: Theory and Practice, as we explore the role of science in solving contemporary challenges. As the Congress unfolds, it will serve as a landmark event that brings together theoretical innovation and practical implementation, paving the way for future research that continues to benefit humanity.

This Congress stands as a testament to the enduring importance of academia’s role in addressing real-world issues, bridging the gap between theory and practice, and setting the standard for meaningful scientific progress. We look forward to welcoming scholars, researchers, and practitioners to St. Petersburg for this momentous event.
