Dinner@Dana: Bold Frontiers

Fast pace, knowledgeable, and innovative – countries such as China, India and Korea are quickly establishing themselves as hot spots of scientific and technological progress. They are emerging as leading research centres, especially on the uncharted boundaries of science such as stem cell biology and nanotechnology.

Molly Webb from think-tank Demos will take Dinner@Dana to the Bold Frontier of innovation in the heart of Asia. Join us to learn how researchers in these countries are pushing science and technology and consider where this might lead in the future.

Is China on track to become the world’s next science superpower? What’s next after South Korea’s speedy rise to a global technological powerhouse? How will Indian research develop in a country where world-class science exists alongside grinding poverty?

Molly will give us her insights into the possible impacts a ‘new geography of science’ might have for Europe.

Dinner@Dana is part of the Café Scientifique network. Meetings aim to stay outside of the traditional academic context by creating a relaxed and informal atmosphere in which to discuss scientific issues. These Cafés provide a place for everyone to explore the latest ideas in science, technology and medicine.
