HFSP Frontier Workshops
HFSP Frontier Workshops
The HFSP Frontier Workshops offer a dynamic platform for scientists and decision-makers to explore pressing issues at the cutting edge of science and technology. Designed to encourage cross-disciplinary discussions, these workshops delve into themes that extend beyond traditional experimental research, bringing to light questions of broad scientific and societal concern that are often underexplored. Aligned with HFSP's mission, the workshops address challenging and sometimes controversial topics that push the boundaries of current scientific understanding.
Built on the success of past HFSP initiatives, the Frontier Workshops also seek to overcome barriers for young scientists who aspire to work across fields. Early-career researchers face mounting pressures for immediate results, which can deter those in fields like physics, mathematics, and computer science from engaging in life sciences. However, fostering an interdisciplinary exchange of ideas is essential to addressing critical issues in health, agriculture, and the environment.
As the Frontier Workshops expand, they will continue to bring global experts together to inspire and sustain interdisciplinary collaborations in ever-evolving scientific landscapes.
