Thanks to science, we have never lived longer, healthier lives than we do today – but the challenges we face have never been greater or more complex. Hear from previous Frontiers Forum speakers on science-led solutions for issues ranging from healthspans to COVID-19, economics to genomics, and ecological restoration to sustainable agriculture.
Prof Alex McBratney explores how AI tools can revolutionize soil science, helping researchers better understand and adapt soils—and the systems they nurture—to a changing climate.
Prof Prokar Dasgupta explores how AI-embodied surgical robots can revolutionize surgical practice—and the implications for clinicians, researchers, regulation, and healthcare systems.
Dr Harvey Locke explores how a “Nature Positive” approach can halt and reverse the global decline in biodiversity and help to prevent the destabilization of Earth’s systems that support human well-being.
Prof Uwe Schröder explores how emerging microbially-powered technology could harness the untapped potential of wastewater—powering agriculture, global sanitation, and helping meet UN Sustainable Development Goals.
Prof Martin Wiedmann explores how risk-based decision-making approaches to foodborne pathogens can build healthier, more sustainable, and more resilient food systems.
Prof Jeff Holly explores how to change obesogenic, unsustainable food environments to achieve healthier, more sustainable outcomes for people and the planet.
Prof Kaushik Roy explores how next generation AI hardware—powered by brain inspired algorithms—can break the memory wall and enable faster, more efficient, and adaptable AI.
Prof Frank Kelly explores how the climate crisis exacerbates plastic pollution—affecting the distribution, exposure, and impacts of plastics across ecosystems—and the actions needed to drive future solutions and systemic change.
