Focus of the event

Our events focus on exploring major challenges facing our world including delivery of sustainable healthcare systems including advanced and affordable diagnostics and therapeutics to billions of people living in diverse environments.

Finding useful solutions to such complex issues requires working together in new ways as a collaborative community, and is our goal.

Integration of insights from the computational, life and physical sciences and social and economic spheres is needed and starts with developing mutual understanding and trust.

We welcome anyone interested in learning about and participating in our open forum for defining the nature of global problems and searching for innovative solutions.
