This panel organized by the Regional Focal Point for Latin America and the Caribbean of the International Science Council, will present an overview of current efforts in the region to respond to urgent environmental and health needs brought about by the Covid 19 pandemic and climate change. The growing response by the scientific community has…
Nossa proposta é uma iniciativa que vai além dos muros da universidade para mostrar que esses espaços podem ser ocupados por todos. Utilizamos várias ferramentas para atingir o nosso propósito: jornadas de divulgação científica, feiras de ciência, ciência na praça, oficinas de capacitação e mão na massa para professores e estudantes, visitas em escolas. Vamos…
The main topic of the panel will be structured around the following questions. What special role can Big Science play in crisis management and sustainability? What are the potential roles and opportunities for basic science in international organizations? What are the challenges, responsibilities, and opportunities for your organization? How do you see your organizations `green’…
Experts will discuss how basic science can contribute to find solutions to environmental problems such as E-waste, and how Global South-North dialogue is needed. In this part, we present interviews with them about the issues they will discuss at the Tsukuba Conference 2023, to be held this September 26-28 in Tsukuba City, Japan. Introduction by…
The ITER international fusion project is a unique blend of basic science – to enable scientists to study never-before-seen plasma physics phenomena – and the first-of-a-kind engineering needed to support this research platform. The applied science outcome hoped for, the capacity to harness fusion as a safe, clean, abundant source of energy, builds on fundamental…
CERN strives to deliver world-class scientific results and knowledge, while embedding environmental responsibility and sustainability in its activities that also include future accelerator studies. This talk by Sonja Kleiner will present CERN’s approach for environmentally responsible research and will outline current projects aimed at minimising the impact of the Organization on the environment, targeting both…
Synchrotron-light sources are super microscopes with different sets of experimental techniques. Those are powerful enough to reveal the tiniest and the most vital details about matter; revealing the unknown of physics, chemistry, biology, pharmaceuticals and biomedicine, as well as materials science, environment and agriculture, many industrial sectors, in addition to cultural heritage and archaeology. In…
This very special 24-hour online event is an opportunity to present the Periodic Table Challenge, an online quiz created by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry at the occasion of the International Year of the Periodic Table of the Elements in 2019. Come take this challenge, share with your colleagues and friends. Use…
What do you think is the need for more gender equality in scientific research? Is your institute committed to any other policies/changes in their gender equality policy? What policies, if any, do you think would make a good addition to your institute’s current policy on gender equality? These questions, and others, will be discussed by…
The global climate crisis is a pressing issue that we are currently facing, primarily due to the increasing levels of greenhouse gases caused by human-generated emissions. However, our understanding of greenhouse gas dynamics is still insufficient, which adds to the uncertainty surrounding future climate predictions. In this presentation, Jinho Ahn, from Seoul National University, will…
