President Higgins urges Young Scientists to share their knowledge with the world

President Michael D Higgins has urged Ireland’s budding scientists to share their knowledge with those in other parts of the world who need it, writes Evelyn Ring. 

"Technology transfer is a crucial part of our shared response to our global interdependence and common vulnerability," he said.

His hope is that the young people would treat scientific and technological innovation as a global common good — to be enjoyed by all those who live on this ‘fragile planet’.
