World Summit 2020 - HJIFUS Schedule
Saturday, February 8, 2020
HJIFUS was founded in 1972 as the International Conference on the Unity of the Sciences (ICUS) with the goal to guide science toward greater internal oneness across disciplines, and toward working under the ideal of absolute values that would benefit humanity. In 2017, ICUS was reconvened as the HJ International Foundation for the Unity of the Sciences (HJIFUS) with an emphasis on ways to solve environmental problems.
