Development Strategy." Other interesting and educational topics in Bridges include "Life and Death Why Our Proteins Have to Die So
We Shall Live," by Professor AARON CIECHANOVER, 2004 Nobel Laureate for Chemistry at the Technion Israel Institute of Technology in Haifa, April 3-10, 2008; and "Building a Culture of Peace and Development
in a Globalised World" by Professor JOSERAMOS-HORTA, April 21-25, 2008.

The series comprises up to 50 events participated in by Nobel Laureate from all fields, including economics, physics, medicine and peace. Bridges aims to strengthen the dialogue among societies around the globe and to promote understanding of varied cultures. As a continuing programme to facilitate peace "beyond the absence of war," it also seeks to involve society and the youth in a new promulgation and understanding of peace.
