AAAS Annual Meeting

This year’s meeting theme—Envisioning Tomorrow’s Earth—focuses on our current understanding of the world and how, bravely experimenting with forward-thinking visions, the scientific community needs to respond with developments to help solve many pressing problems.

About the AAAS Annual Meeting

Founded in 1848, the American Association for the Advancement of Science is the world’s largest multi-disciplinary science society, fulfilling its mission to advance science, engineering, and innovation throughout the world for the benefit of all people through a broad array of initiatives focused on communication, public engagement, education, scientific responsibility, public policy, and science diplomacy.

The AAAS Annual Meeting offers a unique, exciting, interdisciplinary blend of more than 120 scientific sessions, plenary and topical lectures, flash talk sessions, e-poster presentations, and international exhibit hall. Each year, the community of leading scientists, educators, policymakers, and journalists gathers to discuss cutting-edge developments in science, technology, and policy.

At the AAAS 2020, the German delegation will present itself as a stand-alone booth alongside 15 other countries. Networking and individual consultations will take place at the stand, and DWIH Director Ben Brisch will present Germany as an attractive research location.
