Science as a Social Good Webinar #2 on May 24, 2021

The accelerating pace of scientific development has generated a widening gap and mismatch between technological capabilities, fragmented public policies, ethical standards, social equity and our capacity for cultural adaptation. New organizational models for research, policy-making, regulation and implementation are needed to identify high potential scientific advances, coordinate research in all fields, and integrate science,ethical guidelines and social welfare. This panel will examine challenges and discuss opportunities for promoting socially beneficial technologies, and aligning scientific development with public policies to enhance human security.
