World Science Day for Peace and Development was developed by UNESCO in 2001 to recognize the important contributions of science to global peace and sustainability initiatives. The editors of SLAS Discovery and SLAS Technology compiled a list of relevant articles celebrating the work the greater SLAS community has contributed to science policy, vaccines, disease prevention and overall environmental sustainability.
