As the Academia Europaea approaches the 40th year of its existence the world’s
perception of fundamental sciences and their contributions to societal impacts have
evolved remarkably since its creation.
In addition to the fundamental role of its members in the creation and exchange of
knowledge the Academia Europaea has, increasingly, been recognised as a
fundamental resource for...
The traditional account of making science practically useful goes back to Vannevar Bush’s 1945 “Report to the President.” This report promoted basic research “performed without thought of practical ends” (Bush 1945, chapter 3) as the linchpin for achieving practical utility. This approach has become known as the “linear model”; it places progress in epistemic or basic research at the center of...
The Solvay Institutes are unique not only in their history and prestige, but also in their ability to identify emerging scientific themes and to bring together the best researchers from diverse backgrounds around them. Their exceptional added value therefore stems from the founding nature of their scientific activities and their resolutely forward-looking orientation. The Institutes are...
Recent climatic changes have already impacted biodiversity, but estimates of the percent of species threatened with extinction by 2100 range from 1% to 80%. This uncertainty stems partly from differences among algorithms used to estimate species' current and future projected ranges, and from differences among modeled projections of future climate. There is little agreement as to which species'...
The integration of Digital Twin technology with AI Engine is transforming how research and industry understand, predict, and optimize complex systems. Building upon collaborative initiatives between CERN, InnoSuisse, and industrial partners, this talk explores how open-science can be extended into scalable, data-intelligent frameworks for real-world applications.
At the core lies the...
