There will be lectures and discussions on topics including AI, the environment, cybersecurity and space. “I will always contribute where I can in pursuing progress in the fields of education, science and culture,” said Jarre, a goodwill ambassador for Unesco for more than three decades.“That is my mission as an active citizen of our planet and Starmus Earth in Slovakia is all about that.” — AFP
