Fundamental Life Science meets Climate, Environment and Sustainability – Science Summit

Basic research studies that are transdisciplinary in nature, create partnerships across the life sciences, social sciences, and environmental sciences and can greatly accelerate our transition to a more sustainable world. To support such collaborations, we need the support of policymakers, science funding leaders, universities, and those in government. In 2023, HFSP aims to be the…

Fundamental Life Science meets Climate, Environment and Sustainability – International Symposium

The science communities working on the current “big ticket items” like climate change, mitigation and adaptation, energy transitions, biodiversity, food security, and other global challenges under the U.N. Agenda 2030, have been historically “disconnected” from the biological research in all its forms. Yet, scientists working in fields such as cellular and molecular biology, biochemistry, neuroscience,…

UNESCO Bootcamp for Nanotechnology Entrepreneurs

Despite enormous potential that nanotechnology can hold for developing Africa, the continent is slow in implementing it. Reports say that the African continent has the basic infrastructure but lacks focus and consolidation of efforts. This proposed bootcamp aims at consolidating efforts to raise the awareness of nanotechnology and its potential industrial applications by offering training…

Undergraduate Research Symposium

The annual University of Oregon Undergraduate Research Symposium hosts approximately 400 students and their research mentors to present their original research and creative work from across the disciplines in multiple formats ranging from poster and oral presentations to demonstrations, exhibits, and interactive sessions. Since the debut of the Symposium in 2011 the event has hosted…

The discovery of DNA structure: impact on life in the planet, human development and wellbeing

At a time when scientists are urged to develop high technologies, a question immediately arises – What technology can be developed/improved without the contribution of basic sciences? It is impossible to run without putting one ́s feet on the ground. Likewise, it is impossible to develop new and reliable technologies without the knowledge derived from…

Impact of research in science education. Addressing the need for a knowledge-based society

This expert seminar was organized by Estonian Academy of Sciences and University of Tartu, supported by Horizon 2020 Twinning project “Addressing Attractiveness of Science Career Awareness” (SciCar). This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 952470. SciCar – a science education project – addresses…
