About AAAS
Each year at the AAAS Annual Meeting, science and technology professionals -- from across disciplines and around the world -- gather to discuss new research, emerging trends, and exciting new possibilities.

The theme of this meeting, Science and Technology from a Global Perspective, emphasized the power of science and technology as well as education to assist less-developed segments of the world society, to improve partnerships among already-developed countries, and to spur knowledge-driven transformation across a host of fields.
