This year sees the celebration of the bicentenary of Charles Darwin’s birth as well as the 150th anniversary of the publication of his most famous book “On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection”.
Darwin revolutionised our understanding of nature and evolution and has become a household name: his life fascinates thousands of people who study his works or visit places associated with his life.
A large number of celebrations are taking place this year to celebrate Darwin’s life and work.
UNESCO and The International Union of Biological Sciences (IUBS) are pleased to announce the "Darwin 200" programme to celebrate the 200th anniversary of Charles Darwin birthday in 2009.
The aim of Darwin 200 will be to celebrate the impact of Darwin's ideas on current scientific knowledge. The programme comprises a series of scientific symposia and satellite meetings that will take place on five continents.
