Description
About the Arthur C. Clarke Foundation
Gathering together during the ITU’s World Communications Year in 1983, the founders of the Arthur C. Clarke Foundation took their inspiration from an individual whose range of creativity is unimaginably wide. At one extreme, the mathematician and physicist who, at age 28, stunned the scientific community with his precise – and later, proven - portrayal of escape from Earth’s gravity and insertion of satellites into geostationary (now “Clarke”) orbit. At the other, the most inspiring science fiction writer of his age, relentless in his profound faith in humanity’s ability to meet, even to elevate, its moral obligations to the planet and the universe in which we live.
For all involved at the beginning, and for all who have followed, the Arthur C. Clarke Foundation represents an endless opportunity to enhance Sir Arthur Clarke’s legacy, and to share that opportunity with like-minded institutions. With that principal in mind, the Foundation has formed alliances with respected groups in many nations. Among them are,
The Arthur C. Clarke Institute for Modern Technologies, affiliated with the University of Moratua, Colombo, Sri Lanka. Established by an Act of Parliament in 1984 to accelerate the process of introduction and development of Communications, Computers, Energy, Space Technologies and Robotics in the nation. Many of the Foundation’s Arthur C. Clarke Lectures were delivered at the Institute in Moratua. http://www.accimt.ac.lk/about.html
