In a world of Twitter, Facebook and MySpace there is still no substitute for an intelligent and spirited face-to-face debate. The Battle of Ideas provides a perfect platform to explore the many challenges presented by new scientific discoveries. The Wellcome Trust looks forward to another lively year of debate at the Battle of Ideas festival. Mark Walport, Director of the Wellcome Trust |
"I was amazed by the high quality of the Battle of Ideas 2007 and the intellectual excitement that it provoked."
