The future development of artificial intelligence (AI) will pose challenges that are currently difficult to imagine. As with climate change, policies restricting certain technological advancements in one country, such as the United States, do not prevent another, such as China, from pursuing them; soon thereafter, the international community begins developing the same technologies to avoid being left behind in a competitive world. Additionally, the wide range of opinions on the ethical implications of technological advancements in AI and bioengineering could lead to the adoption of different guidelines by different countries.\u00a0To prevent a potentially dangerous snowball effect, nations need to agree internationally on ethical guidelines for technological advancements and innovations<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/aebarcelona.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/invitacio-cara.png” title_text=”invitacio\u0301 cara” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” width=”58%” max_width=”58%” module_alignment=”center” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text disabled_on=”on|on|on” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” disabled=”on” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n In recent decades, the rate at which human activities impact the environment has increased dramatically. As a result, climate change threatens many plant and animal species with displacement or extinction, alters and destroys ecosystems, triggers more extreme weather events, reduces agricultural productivity, and makes large areas of the globe uninhabitable. Unless humans drastically change their behaviour soon, environmental degradation will reach a point of no return, with catastrophic consequences.\u00a0While individual nations may overhaul environmental practices, raise taxes on emissions, and develop eco-friendly technologies within their borders, their efforts will not be enough without the participation of the international community. Furthermore, since climate change mitigation takes time to yield results, it is difficult for some countries to willingly sacrifice short-term economic growth and prioritize long-term green policies.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” width=”58%” max_width=”58%” module_alignment=”center” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n To watch the session click here<\/a><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/aebarcelona.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/invitacio-210x100mm.png” title_text=”invitacio\u0301 210x100mm” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” width=”58%” max_width=”58%” module_alignment=”center” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” width=”58%” max_width=”58%” module_alignment=”center” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n To watch the session click here<\/a><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text disabled_on=”on|on|on” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” disabled=”on” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n The basics of biology: the genome or the cell?<\/strong><\/p>\n Genome-centered biology emphasizes the role of genetic information encoded within DNA as the primary determinant of an organism’s traits and functions. Meanwhile, cell-centered biology underscores the importance of the cell as the basic unit of life, focusing on its complex structures, functions, and interactions within the environment. Yet, contemporary understanding acknowledges the inseparable relationship between genes and cells, recognizing that genetic instructions from the genome are executed within the dynamic environment of the cell. Is the integration of both perspectives possible? Could we consider the interplay between genetic information and cellular dynamics in shaping life’s intricacies? Is there a solid departure point or is it just a lack of knowledge?<\/p>\n Invited speakers:<\/p>\n Alfonso Martinez-Arias, ICREA Senior research professor, Barcelona<\/p>\n Roderic Guig\u00f3, coordinator of the Bioinformatics Programme at the CRG, Barcelona and professor at the UPF, Barcelona<\/p>\n Moderator: Gemma Marfany, UB, Barcelona<\/p>\n To watch the session click here<\/a><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/aebarcelona.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/invitacioCara-210x100mm.png” title_text=”invitacioCara 210x100mm” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” width=”66%” module_alignment=”center” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text disabled_on=”on|on|on” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” disabled=”on” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n 15th of May from 18.00 to 19.30 p.m<\/strong><\/p>\n Climate change, migration and emergent diseases<\/strong><\/p>\n Climate change poses a multifaceted challenge, intertwining with migration patterns and the emergence of diseases. Altered environmental conditions due to climate shifts impact disease dynamics, expanding the range of vectors and fostering the spread of infections. Concurrently, climate-induced events like extreme weather drive human displacement and migration, amplifying the risk of disease transmission in crowded settlements. These intertwined factors create a complex nexus where environmental changes, human mobility, and disease emergence are interconnected. Addressing this requires comprehensive strategies that combine environmental conservation, public health initiatives, and global cooperation to manage migration and mitigate the health risks exacerbated by climate change.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Link here to watch the session by zoom<\/a><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_blurb content_max_width=”1100px” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” header_text_color=”#000000″ width=”58%” max_width=”58%” module_alignment=”center” custom_padding=”||0px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Link to see the session online<\/a><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_blurb][et_pb_blurb content_max_width=”634px” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”||0px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Link to see the session<\/a><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_blurb][et_pb_blurb content_max_width=”560px” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”||0px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n<\/h3>\n
