SUMMARY:Debugging the human brain
DESCRIPTION:Summary\nOver a billion people suffer from a brain disorder\, few of which are well-treated by existing drugs or devices.\nA key problem is that the brain is a complex\, densely wired circuit made out of neurons\, varying in shape\, biomolecular composition\, and patterns of connectivity.\nPinpointing how to treat brain disorders demands better maps of the brain\, as well as better understanding of brain dynamics\, and the knowledge of how to correct these dynamics when they go awry.\nThis exciting evening talk will explore Professor Boyden’s research into this field of neuroscience\, linking engineering principles with a core medical problem – how do you reprogram a brain that is misfiring? \nSpeaker\nEd Boyden\, Associate Professor of Biological Engineering and Brain and Cognitive Sciences at the MIT Media Lab and the MIT McGovern Institute. \nWho should attend?\n– Researchers (industry\, academia)\n– University students\n– Neurologists / Neurobiologists\n– Biotechnologists\n– Healthcare professionals\n– Professionals interested in the fields of optogenetics and synthetic neurobiology\n– Organisations involved in research concerning brain diseases and treatment\, including charities\, academic institutions\, and industry \nRegister\nFree to attend evening talk followed by a networking drinks reception\nSecure your place today by booking online: http://www.theiet.org/boyden

SUMMARY:Innovations for a Sustainable Future  (AR Interactive Exhibition)
DESCRIPTION:PRIVATE VIEW: Thursday 6 October 2022\, 6 – 8 pm \nExhibition: 06 Oct 2022 – 02 Dec 2022\, Mon-Fri 10 am – 6pm \nFree entry\, registration necessary (more info on website\, see below) \nA brand new interactive exhibition touching on the fast-evolving digital revolution as well as the pressing challenges faced by our generation.  \nBoth Europe and the world are undergoing a major technological transformation. New phenomena such as artificial intelligence are slowly making their way into all aspects of our lives\, from communication to health\, from culture to sustainability. What are the innovations and scientific discoveries shaping our future? \nThe Innovations for a Sustainable Future exhibition seeks to create a dialogue between science\, society\, culture and art. Its main aim is to address current global issues and the inevitable role science and new technologies will play in reaching the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set up by the United Nations in 2015 as a blueprint for a better\, more sustainable future for all. The 17 SDGs were adopted by all UN member states agreeing to work on\, among other things\, a plan to eradicate extreme poverty and hunger\, achieve gender equality and avert climate threats by 2030. \nThis interactive augmented reality exhibition was artistically rendered by the renowned Czech graphic designer Pavel Fuksa\, drawing from the concept of the successful Czech Innovation Expo which travelled the world presenting Czech scientific discoveries and innovations. The new London exhibition highlights innovations and issues on a European level\, reflecting the higher purpose of science with special emphasis on the means needed to implement the ambitious SGDs. \nHow the Exhibition Works \nVisitors will enter a seemingly empty room with only abstract symbols on the walls. After downloading the exhibition app (available free for Android and iOS)\, they will see the space around them come to life on their devices\, allowing them to explore in a fun and unique way a variety of scientific stories and fascinating information about technological innovations likely to shape our future. \nThe exhibition was created as a joint project of the Czech Centres and the Czech Technology Agency. It is part of the 2022 Czech Presidency of the Council of the EU Programme. \nThe London exhibition is organised  by the Czech Centre London and the European Parliament Liaison Office in the United Kingdom.

SUMMARY:Galapagos Day 2022: PROTECTING SPECIES AND PREVENTING EXTINCTIONS
DESCRIPTION:Galapagos Day 2022\n\n\nJoin us on 20 October 2022 to hear from the experts working in the field to save species from tortoises to birds.   \nBiodiversity loss is one of the biggest environmental threats we face today and constitutes a global crisis that needs to be tackled with the same urgency as climate change. Galapagos is one of the most unique\, scientifically important biodiversity hotspots on Earth\, yet even here\, more than 80 species are now listed as either Critically Endangered or Endangered. Though the Islands may appear pristine\, they are threatened by climate change\, invasive species\, overfishing\, urbanisation and plastic pollution. \nGalapagos Conservation Trust is dedicated to the conservation of the Galapagos Islands. For over 25 years\, we have protected biodiversity\, restored habitats and saved endangered species from extinction by raising funds and awareness and by delivering ground-breaking\, impactful conservation projects. We are supporting partners to investigate wildlife health\, such as that of the iconic Galapagos giant tortoise; undertaking vital research to ensure the effective management of the new Hermandad Marine Reserve; and restoring habitats on islands such as Floreana\, which will be the first inhabited island in Galapagos to have rats and feral cats eradicated. \nOn Galapagos Day 2022\, we will explore the threats to biodiversity in Galapagos. We will hear directly from experts working at the cutting edge of science to save species ranging from giant tortoises to woodpecker finches. \nSpeakers will include:\nMonty Halls (host) \nDr Ainoa Nieto Claudín\, researcher\, a wildlife veterinarian and laboratory manager of the Charles Darwin Research Station. \nPaula Castaño\, wildlife veterinarian at Island Conservation.

SUMMARY:Innovations for a Sustainable Future - Private Viewing
DESCRIPTION:PRIVATE VIEWING: Thursday 13 July\, 6:30-8:30pm \n\n\n\nFree entry\, registration necessary (more info on website\, see below) \n\n\n\nA brand new interactive exhibition touching on the fast-evolving digital revolution as well as the pressing challenges faced by our generation. With both Europe and the world undergoing a major technological transformation\, new phenomena such as artificial intelligence are slowly making their way into all aspects of our lives\, from communication to health\, from culture to sustainability. What are the innovations and scientific discoveries shaping our future? \n\n\n\nThe Innovations for a Sustainable Future exhibition seeks to create a dialogue between science\, society\, culture\, and art. Its main aim is to address current global issues and the inevitable role science and new technologies will play in reaching the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set up by the United Nations in 2015 as a blueprint for a better\, more sustainable future for all. The 17 SDGs were adopted by all UN member states agreeing to work on\, among other things\, a plan to eradicate extreme poverty and hunger\, achieve gender equality and avert climate threats by 2030.This interactive augmented reality exhibition was artistically rendered by the renowned Czech graphic designer Pavel Fuksa\, drawing from the concept of the successful Czech Innovation Expo which travelled the world presenting Czech scientific discoveries and innovations. The new London exhibition highlights innovations and issues on a European level\, reflecting the higher purpose of science with special emphasis on the means needed to implement the ambitious SGDs. \n\n\n\nHow the Exhibition Works \n\n\n\nVisitors will see seemingly static outdoor panels with abstract symbols on the walls. After downloading the exhibition app (available free for Android and iOS)\, they will see the space around them come to life on their devices\, allowing them to explore in a fun and unique way a variety of scientific stories and fascinating information about technological innovations contributing to our sustainable future. \n\n\n\nRegistration necessary: \n\n\nRegister on Eventbrite\n\n\nExhibition Website: \n\n\n\n\nExhibition dates: 14 July – 30 September\n\n\n\n\nThe exhibition was created by the Czech Centres in collaboration with the Czech Technology Agency. Organised by the Czech Centre London in association with the Czech Embassy.
