Delegates shall meet over three days to discuss Ireland's place in the global economy and A.I. will be there to ensure Ireland's best interests are being looked after, in particular the growth and development of a Science Culture. For research purposes, we would like your input - are there any questions you would like us to ask at this economic forum? Please let us know before tomorrow evening by emailing sec@astronomy.ie. Did you know science and technology accounts for 60% of Ireland's GDP (agriculture is only 7%) - so we are a 'Science Nation'. Hence A.I.'s Science Culture initiative is vital to our country's future. For more information on Global Irish Economic Forum go to www.globalirishforum.ie.
