Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly becoming a fundamental part of modern medical research and practises, while the overall standards to regulate the use of AI are still being defined. This session will discuss the benefits of AI for research and healthcare, e.g., diagnostic accuracy, alongside the risks and obstacles related…

“Tianjic” is the the world’s first brain-inspired hybrid computing chip that bridges computer-science-oriented and neuroscience-oriented approaches. It not only accommodates computer-science-oriented machine learning algorithms and neuroscience-oriented models, but also supports cross computing paradigm modelling. With one chip, a bicycle performs real-time object detection, tracking, voice recognition, obstacle avoidance, auto balance…

Ogboh’s multifarious project Stirring the Pot interrogates the myriad experiences that exist within migration. Migration is explored as a function that occurs as an exchange between people and place, and the construction of memory and identity left in its wake. The project is made visceral through a unique balancing of…

“EcosySTEM” is a project that targets the population of the Pomaks, which is situated in the mountainous area of Thrace, in Northeastern Greece. This population is both geographically and socially isolated, as their religion and language differ from the remaining population of Greece. The past and current situation still fosters…

The Natural Entrepreneurs project guides students aged 14-18 to address sustainability challenges by drawing inspiration from nature. Using STEAM-based designs, teams collaborate on SDG-based challenges for viable solutions. An online platform serves as the project core, fostering European teamwork. Guided by provided materials, teachers and students navigate challenges to solutions.…

The Neuro-G Project engages in neuroscience education and advocacy in Nigeria, addressing challenges like dropout rates, science enrollment decline, lack of neuroscience background in secondary schools, gender disparity, misconceptions about neurological diseases, and scarcity of neuroscience professionals. Targets include secondary school students in remote or disadvantaged areas, victimized students, and…

Fatema Al Maqbali proposes that green desalination can be achieved with a microbial desalination cell fueled by wastewater and integrated with a natural bio adsorbent.

As the capabilities of current computer systems are fast reaching their limits, the huge potential for quantum computing to solve vastly complex problems is attracting ever greater attention and worldwide efforts to ‘win’ the quantum race are ramping up. Still, the term ‘quantum’ carries a mystical quality as we try…

Labor reflects upon our changing understanding of what we are. Microbes in and on the human body outnumber human cells and complicate any simplistic sense of (an indivisible) self. The smell of the perspiring body is not just a human scent, unless we are willing to redefine what we mean…

SOFA proposes a more efficient system to distribute research funding than the present grant proposal review process. All researchers periodically receive an equal and unconditional base amount of funding, but they have to donate a fraction of everything they receive to other researchers of their choice. As such, funding circulates…
