Tomorrow's Giants: a conference hosted by the Royal Society and Nature Forum
Moderators:
The Tomorrow’s Giants conference is part of an exciting week of celebrations for the Royal Society’s 350th anniversary, which will include an extended Summer Science Exhibition at Southbank Centre, London. To be held on Thursday 1st July 2010, this one day conference co-hosted by the Royal Society and Nature, will bring together scientists and policymakers to gather scientists’ visions of the next 50 years looking in particular at the following three themes:
Data: The challenge of curating and supporting databases in the future and ethical concerns around the storage and management of certain types of data.
Careers: mechanisms for providing security and support for research careers.
Measuring and Assessment: the use of performance indicators and the challenge of having appropriate checks without inhibiting research.
In the lead up to the conference the Royal Society hosted regional meetings across the country in Edinburgh, Liverpool, Bath, Oxford, Cambridge, Nottingham and London. We invited over 100 scientists to share and exchange views on these issues and this Nature Network forum is an opportunity for you to add to the discussion. We’re taking your views from both the workshops and this forum to make sure that the right questions get asked at the conference next year so here is your opportunity to contribute to the discussion of the issues impacting on the shape of science in the next 10-50 years.
