ASU Julie Ann Wrigley Global Futures Laboratory

Since 2004, ASU has become a global leader in sustainability efforts—creating the Julie Ann Wrigley Global Institute of Sustainability, launching the first School of Sustainability in the U.S., deploying the largest solar energy portfolio of any university in the U.S. and more. The emergence of the Global Futures Laboratory at Arizona State University is the next step in our continual evolution. It represents the urgent belief that we can and must make a meaningful contribution to ensuring a habitable planet and a future in which well-being is attainable. Using the model of the multi-focused National Laboratories, the Global Futures Laboratory is creating a platform for an ongoing and wide-ranging exchange across all knowledge domains to address the complex social, economic and scientific challenges spawned by the current and future threats from environmental degradation. This platform positions a new world headquarters for an international network of scientists, scholars and innovators, it lays the foundation to respond to existing and emerging challenges and it uses innovation to purposefully shape and inform our future. The Global Futures Laboratory provides key engagement spaces for scientists, educators and leaders across ASU and around the world to address critical issues related to the future of planet Earth. Rather than solving problems after they arise, we seek to design a future in which humanity not only survives, but thrives. Our Vision Managing our planet for a sustainable future. Our Mission Harnessing the innovative capacity of academia, the Global Futures Laboratory will develop options for proactive planetary management to achieve sustained habitability and improved well-being for all humankind.

Google DeepMind

We’re a team of scientists, engineers, machine learning experts and more, working together to advance the state of the art in artificial intelligence. We use our technologies for widespread public benefit and scientific discovery, and collaborate with others on critical challenges, ensuring safety and ethics are the highest priority. Our long term aim is to solve intelligence, developing more general and capable problem-solving systems, known as artificial general intelligence (AGI). Guided by safety and ethics, this invention could help society find answers to some of the world’s most pressing and fundamental scientific challenges. We have a track record of breakthroughs in fundamental AI research, published in journals like Nature, Science, and more.Our programs have learned to diagnose eye diseases as effectively as the world’s top doctors, to save 30% of the energy used to keep data centres cool, and to predict the complex 3D shapes of proteins - which could one day transform how drugs are invented.

Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research

At the Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research, scientists investigate the mechanisms of infectious diseases and their defence. We systematically develop the results of basic research towards medical application. The scientific questions we work on include: What makes bacteria or viruses pathogens? Why are some people particularly sensitive, while others are resistant to infections? How can we intervene in infection processes? How do we transfer our findings to human applications? To clarify such questions, we are studying pathogens that are medically relevant or that can be used as models for research into infections. Understanding these mechanisms will help to combat infectious diseases with new drugs and vaccines. Imprint: <https://www.helmholtz-hzi.de/de/impressum>
