Science and Engineering

A universally agreed-upon international culture based on four attributes:

• a universal language

• mutual respect

• verifiable truth

• rules and values transcending borders

Science and Engineering can be Tools for Peace

•The Universal Language of Science and Engineering

International Cooperation

“A substantial step forward in science and education cooperation between the three countries, the “Little” Global Ring Network for Advanced Applications Development (Little GLORIAD) represents a first step towards a much larger initiative the three countries are planning.”

11-nations linked together

“GLORIAD exists today due to the shared commitment to promote increased engagement and cooperation between countries, beginning with their scientists, educators and young people.”

•Science and Engineering are Based on Verifiable Truths

“The journal "Science" investigates false claims of cloning "pioneer“ Hwang Woo-Suk of South Korea”

He was found to be lying

Engineering truth is verifiable
