What will healthcare look like in the future? What are the technologies that will make the biggest impact in the next decades? In this webcast, you will be able to hear from six MIT academics who will speak to these question in the context of their research. Adding to the perspectives in healthcare, four startups will present lightning talks. Please join us and experience the perspectives arising from MIT and its community.
The pharmaceutical industry has experienced an extraordinary rise in the generation and use of enormous datasets. Nevertheless, there remain great challenges on this front regarding everything from target identification to understanding the performance of marketed products. In the context of this broad impact, we have assembled a group of leading researchers and executives from the MIT-connected community who will address questions of discovery, data integration, and system perturbation analysis, including use of artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques. What is the impact of current developments on high-throughput profiling, computational biology, and validation of gene targets? How do these developments impact the use of chemical libraries, drug-delivery systems, and patient-facing objectives? These are the types of questions that will be addressed in this exciting panel discussion.
Built Infrastructure is the foundation of economic and societal development. Economic recovery and future growth require sustainable infrastructure build up. Join MIT faculty speakers and startups to explore the challenges and opportunities on how we can advance humanity’s common progress by understanding, building and operating the infrastructure to support our growing society and achieve shared prosperity. This webinar will be followed by an ILP Members only webinar on April 1. More information coming soon!
Built Infrastructure is the foundation of economic and societal development. Economic recovery and future growth require sustainable infrastructure build up. Join MIT faculty and ILP member executives discussing the challenges and opportunities on how we can advance humanity’s common progress to support our growing society with shared prosperity while decarbonizing the built infrastructure.
Water is a vital resource – for society and also for many industrial processes. There are increasingly complex challenges in this sector: detecting and addressing contaminents, wastewater treatment, valuing and monetizing water and managing water-intensive operations to name a few.
Also, like much of our industrial infrastructure there is a pressing need to modernize, digitize and optimize equipment, plant and systems. Here we will present new MIT research, technologies and spinoff companies for sensing, treatment processes, remote monitoring and digitalization. We will be joined by industry leaders who will discuss and share their innovations and experiences with new technology – insights that are transferrable to other large industrial and infrastructure sectors.
Led by the MIT Energy Initiative (MITEI), MIT continues to play an important role in advancing low-carbon energy technologies and our understanding of the underlying science—as well as helping to inform future energy policy. Strategic collaboration with its industry members, guided by sophisticated system-level modeling and analysis, has long been a hallmark of MITEI’s approach.
MIT’s Corporate Relations office and MITEI will jointly present a special energy webinar on April 13, featuring several leading researchers drawn from MIT faculty. As a follow-up to this webinar, there will be an interactive webinar on April 15 with a roundtable of MIT researchers and industry leaders, moderated by MITEI Director Robert Armstrong.
Nearly three quarters of a century ago, the Space Age began with a series of government programs to demonstrate our ability to live and work off of the earth’s surface. By the end of the 20th century, major national geostationary communications satellite networks were privatized, and not long after, we saw the emergence of new privately-funded launchers and satellites. The past decade has brought an explosion of new space ventures with ambitions reaching to the moon and beyond.
MIT has been a key player in space from the very beginning. Our guidance systems sent Apollo to the moon in vehicles made from new materials developed at MIT using computers designed in our labs. Today, our graduates populate both the traditional government space and the rapidly expanding private “New Space” industries in key roles, and our innovation ecosystem includes a proliferation of New Space startups with more emerging every year.
The COVID pandemic has only accelerated changes that were already in progress in the way we work, how we work and where we work. It has emphasized other aspects of our lives that depend on making a livelihood, such as where we live, how we balance work/ family/ personal priorities; what career paths will look like; how we collaborate with peers; whose work must be done in person vs done remotely, and who has access to the technologies that enable remote work; health and safety in the workplace; urban planning and even the redesign of our living spaces. There are also implications for business, which will have to accommodate these changes, and also new opportunities emerging that will change their strategic planning and growth.
In this webinar we will engage experts to share their insight from their research, their views on the trends that are now clearly emerging, and their advice on preparing for the future of work, of the workforce, and of the organizations of the future.
