Schools of Convergence Science

Our new Schools of Convergence Science will supercharge scientific discovery and drive economic growth. The School of Health & Technology, led by Anthony Bull (Convener), Iain McNeish, Marisa Miraldo, and Faith Osier, will drive convergence between disciplines, technologies, and mindsets to shift the global conversation from treating illness to sustaining lifelong health across diverse populations, geographies, and systems. We asked the co-directors to explain convergence science, talk about their new School, and what they hope to achieve.

Our new Schools of Convergence Science will supercharge scientific discovery and drive economic growth. The School of Human and Artificial Intelligence – led by Alessandra Russo  (Convenor), Payam Barnaghi, Will Branford and Aldo Faisal  will drive impact by augmenting the intelligence of humans and machines to support and help humanity thrive. AI promises to augment human capabilities, automate complex tasks, and spark unprecedented progress in almost every field. We asked the co-directors to explain convergence science, talk about their new School, and what they hope to achieve.

Our new Schools of Convergence Science will supercharge scientific discovery and drive economic growth. The School of Space, Security and Telecoms, led by Jonathan Eastwood (Convener), Kin Leung , Julie McCann and Matthew Santer, will explore three distinct themes: to connect, protect and know our worlds. Its work will set the global agenda at the intersection of these disciplines. We asked the co-directors to explain convergence science, talk about their new School, and what they hope to achieve.

Our new Schools of Convergence Science will supercharge scientific discovery and drive economic growth. The School of Sustainability, led by Mirabelle Muûls  (convenor) Benjamin Barratt , Alyssa Gilbert and Nilay Shah, will accelerate solutions that drive both planetary health and human prosperity, in pursuit of a world where people can live meaningfully, prosperously and in harmony with the planet. We asked the co-directors to explain convergence science, talk about their new School, and what they hope to achieve.
