The choice of the theme "Light, Science and Life" for the next edition of the National Science and Technology Week (SNCT) is based on a decision by the United Nations General Assembly, which proclaimed 2015 as the International Year of Light, with the aim of celebrating light as a subject of science and technological development. The choice was announced by the Minister of Science, Technology and Innovation, Clelio Campolina Diniz, at the opening of the 2014 edition in Brasília.wink3333333333333333
