Agenda

With multiple sustainability crises unfolding, from climate change to biodiversity loss, from increasing levels of pollution and threats to global public health to increased socio-environmental and intergenerational inequality, poverty and intersectional discrimination, from the digital divide, food and energy insecurity to forced migration and disruptive use of emerging technologies, there is a need for transforming society as well as the way in which sustainability is governed. Therefore, transformation of society and sustainability governance requires significant reordering: one that changes existing drivers and structures to drive change towards fundamentally novel systems.

4TU scholar Aaron Ding (TU Delft) is organizing ICT.OPEN track on Responsible Digital Society together with Paula Grosso (UvA), taking place on 11th April 2024 in Utrecht. This ICT.OPEN track will feature a keynote by 4TU alumni Prof. Anne Fleur van Veenstra (TNO/Leiden) on responsible digitalisation, as well as 6 technical talks and 15 poster pitches, covering cutting-edge societal challenges including sustainability, trust, sovereignty and talent development. 

The exponential growth of computational power combined with the emergence of innovative machine learning (ML) algorithms offers a revolutionary paradigm in the realm of molecular discovery and scientific understanding. This workshop aims to create a dialogue between pure ML researchers, and scientists using cutting-edge models for data-centric scientific molecular and material discovery.
