2nd Annual FORTHEM conference 

FORTHEM – For the Future

 

January 29-31, 2025


Save the date for the 2nd FORTHEM Annual Conference, “Connecting Worlds of Science and Society,” taking place from January 29-31, 2025. This edition will highlight the vital role of science in shaping a sustainable, inclusive, and innovative future for all, while showcasing the FORTHEM Alliance’s efforts to bridge the gap between science and society through research-driven outreach initiatives.

The conference aims to foster interdisciplinary dialogue, enhance global competitiveness, and address pressing challenges. By encouraging participation across various disciplines, FORTHEM seeks to expand its networks, engaging researchers from other alliances, academic institutions, and non-academic partners.

This collaborative research approach strengthens our ability to respond to unforeseen crises like pandemics and regional conflicts, which have long-term societal impacts requiring comprehensive study. It also enables us to navigate the rapidly changing societal and technological landscape. FORTHEM recognizes that basic and applied research are essential, complementary forces that drive creativity and innovation, creating a thriving research environment.

Featuring 12 thematic sessions, the conference will facilitate the sharing, discussion, and evaluation of research findings across a range of current and critical fields. By welcoming researchers from around the world, FORTHEM invites participants to explore common research strengths and forge meaningful connections.
