The nominating institution HIPPO Foundation on the project: The HIPPO foundation builds artificial intelligence data sets representing the world’s population for each disease, and provides these datasets on their new open knowledge license. The HIPPO Foundation believes medical knowledge should be available to all, and that medical AI should become…

Bohnhoff et al. develop an entirely new scale-invariant and process-oriented approach to unravel earthquake nucleation and rupture physics. This bears enormous potential for future generations of adaptive seismic hazard assessment at major tectonic plate-boundaries and associated risk at colocated population centers. This will also critically improve mitigation of man-made seismic…

Future of Forests – Dramatic Impacts of Climate Change Falling Walls Circle Tables are lending the spotlight to world-leading scientists, science strategists and policy-makers from academia, business and politics discuss how we can apply science, research and innovation to get the world moving again. In this Falling Walls Circle Table,…

According to Fabiyan Angikath, current methods of hydrogen production involve CO2 emissions and/or are expensive. He, therefore, suggests introducing molten metal reactor technology to produce sustainable H2 production.

I study the development of scientific knowledge–particularly in the earth and environmental sciences–as well as the political, social, and cultural obstacles to the development and dissemination of scientific knowledge. I am interested in both how knowledge is produced and how ignorance is sustained. It’s a “core idea” because it we…

Win Win Maw is tackling the challenges of food insecurity and malnutrition in Myanmar by proposing a solution that incorporates sustainable protein and fiber sources like cricket and mango peel into traditional rice products. This innovative approach, such as incorporating these ingredients into fermented rice noodles, aims to address malnutrition…

As part of the initiative Making Science the Star, Stephane Kenmoe’s film series ‘Science in the City’ approaches scientific topics through cinematic storytelling in 26 episodes. Focusing on topics such as biomass, and renewable energies and AI, the film series depicts the common perception of science in Africa and the…

Mohammed Musa has developed a patented manual device that prepares blood smears for analysis, helping prevent infection, save time, reduce costs, and reduce medical waste.

Much of the world’s energy demands continue to depend on fossil fuels. However, mounting environmental concerns and decarbonisation efforts have propelled the development of sustainable processes to produce chemicals, fuels and materials from renewable biological resources. Biotechnology has been making strides and could soon help address a range of global…
