The paper discusses the World Conference on Science organized by UNESCO and the International Council (ICSU), and hosted by the Hungarian Academy of Science. It was held from 26 June to 1 July, 1999 in Budapest, Hungary. The presentation will elaborate on the Draft Declaration and the Framework of Action, on the use of scientific knowledge which "set forth the issues of science and the use of scientific knowledge at the end of the century." The statement serves as a challenge to science educators. The priorities on the involvement of scientists for school and out-of-school science education will be cited. Finally the challenge for the region will be raised focused on: the importance of science education for national development; popularizing science in-school and out-of-school; and science education for future scientists.
