Nature's news writers will be providing daily electronic coverage of the World Conference on Science from Saturday 26 June, the first day of the meeting, up to Friday 2 July, the day after the closing session.

Material will include news items on the main speeches delivered to the conference, reports on discussions about the texts of the Declaration and Framework for Action that are due to be adopted on the final day of the conference, and interviews with key participants.

A questionnaire that includes the opportunity for readers to submit their hopes and fears for the conference (see above) remains open on the website, which can be reached either through the Nature home page (http://www.nature.com) or direct on http://helix.nature.com/wcs.

All respondents to the questionnaire will be eligible to receive a free supplement that Nature will be producing after the conference. This will include reports on the meeting and its conclusions, as well as selected opinion articles on the topics under discussion in Budapest that have appeared on the website.
