Science horizons
Leading-edge science for sustainable prosperity over the next 10-15 years.
Over the past decade, the global public research agenda focused on finding paths to sustainable prosperity.
The chemical sciences will be central to advancing three dimensions of scientific research that will be essential to meeting this agenda.
It is important to have chemistry active and proactive, claiming our own space more. We shouldn鈥檛 be afraid to put our ideas and questions out there. We should be buoyant, confident and assert the unique value we bring.
Professor Dame Carol Robinson, University of Oxford
Sustainability is a global priority and depends on chemistry, say two world-renowned scientists
Our reports
For science to fulfil its potential to answer fundamental questions, create solutions to global challenges, and contribute fully to sustainable prosperity, it needs to have the right environment. We have identified that curiosity, collaboration and leadership are essential enablers for science to best help society today and in the future.
Science Horizons
Science Horizons is a 九州影院 report into the direction, potential and needs of scientific research and development in the next 10-15 years, based on engagements with more than 750 leading scientists worldwide.
Science Horizons: research frontiers
Our first snapshot of that research, Science Horizons: Research Frontiers, explores the amazing developments in science 鈥� particularly the chemical sciences 鈥� that will play a significant role in delivering sustainable prosperity for humanity. It also highlights case studies of incredible frontier techniques that are propelling scientists into uncharted chemical territory, including ultrafast molecular cameras and instant bedside diagnostics.
