Human knowledge and human connections should operate across divides, from the ivied walls between academic departments to the borders between countries.

Our conference went “unconference” on the final day with a Fellow takeover of programming that stretched from how we navigate science beyond 2050 through to career workshops, and working outside academia. All designed and delivered by Fellows in the spirit of co-creation…
