Basic Science, the Scientific Consensus for Addressing Challenges to Humanity

In February 2026, the World Laureates Summit (WLS) convenes alongside the World Governments Summit (WGS), marking a historic integration of science and government. Together, WLS and WGS bring together laureates of the Nobel, Turing, Wolf, and Lasker Prizes, along with recipients of other preeminent scientific honors, as well as heads of state, ministers, and leaders from international organizations and enterprises, to address today’s development challenges and those ahead.
