Scientific research is a never-ending ‘journey of knowledge’. There is more meaning in experiencing various encounters and making a good journey itself than reaching the destination. Basic science has eternal cultural value; it has served to heighten our awe of nature and helped to foster a healthy respect for nature and for life. Furthermore, the science-based technology is the foundation of civilized society. Today innovation, defined as the creation of value changing society, is what assures our continued survival as independent nations.
