1. Dr. H.-F. Wagner, Chairman Global Science Forum of OECD Welcome by the Global Science Forum of the OECD ASPERA-2 KICK-OFF MEETING Hamburg, 7 July 2009

2. Dr. H.-F. Wagner, Chairman Global Science Forum of OECD Committee of senior science policy officials of OECD- and observer countries like e.g. China, South Africa or Russia Provides a unique venue for consultations among scientists and policymakers No own money of OECD involved Meetings twice a year normally in Paris Global Science Forum One of them is here!

3. Dr. H.-F. Wagner, Chairman Global Science Forum of OECD Global Science Forum activities are proposed by member delegations. All Global Science Forum activities result in a publicly-available policy-level report containing findings and action recommendations for Governments, inter-governmental organisations, or the international scientific community. Reports of GSF go directly to the policy level of the Governments. 21 Reports available at www.oecd.org/sti/gsf
