Theme: Science, Technology and Society
Scientific and technological research continues to enhance our knowledge and understanding of the world. It has brought about not just efficiency, but profound political, economic and social transformation.
From health to education, agriculture to energy, enterprise to infrastructure, even to democracy and administration: science and technology have transformed – and bettered – almost every aspect of the lives of the citizens of the Commonwealth and the world.
Many of these great discoveries have been produced by the best minds from all over the Commonwealth – from the development of web-based communications to the introduction of multimedia telecommunications in the palms of our hands; from the use of stem cells to rejuvenate tissue growth in human bodies, to organ transplants and the replacement of limbs with technologically advanced prosthetics.
