CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
The Tesla Science Foundation is pleased to announce the Call for Participation for the 2027 International Conference “IN THE SPIRIT OF TESLA,” to be held January 14–17, 2027, at the historic New Yorker Hotel in New York City—the place where Nikola Tesla spent the final ten years of his life and where his presence remains an important part of the history of science and innovation.
Conference Motto
“IN THE SPIRIT OF TESLA”
Inspiring the Future Through Science, Innovation, Culture, and Humanity.
WHY “IN THE SPIRIT OF TESLA”?
Nikola Tesla was one of the greatest inventors and visionaries in history. His legacy represents much more than his inventions. It represents a way of thinking: freedom of ideas, courage to explore the unknown, respect for differences, faith in science, and the conviction that knowledge and innovation should serve all of humanity.
The title “IN THE SPIRIT OF TESLA” represents these values.
The mission of the Tesla Science Foundation is not simply to talk about Nikola Tesla, but to create, research, connect people, encourage innovation, and develop new ideas inspired by his vision of the future.
We believe that science, innovation, education, culture, and the arts can work together to contribute to a better future and strengthen international cooperation.
For these reasons, the Tesla Science Foundation intends for “IN THE SPIRIT OF TESLA” to become the traditional name of its international conferences and a recognizable symbol of people around the world who believe that Tesla’s ideas and values can continue to inspire and change the world.
