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

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

"Science"
investigates
false claims of
