The World Science Festival is an annual science festival hosted by the World Science Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in New York City. There is also an Asia-Pacific event held in Brisbane, Australia.
The foundation's goal is to create a broad public that is "informed about science, inspired by its wonder, convinced of its value, and willing to consider its impact on the future."
