TWAS 1987 Conference: A Meeting That Changed The World

Nature magazine is running a series of articles entitled "Meetings That Changed The World". The series covers six scientific meetings that "had such a great impact they can be said to have changed the world." Among the meetings featured: the conference that led to the establishment of CERN, the Bellagio Conference that ushered in the Green Revolution, and TWAS's Second General Conference in Beijing in 1987 that marked the opening of China's scientific community to the world.
