Ranging from the head of United Nations to children’s movements around the globe are calling for decision makers to rely on science, to learn from science and gather more scientific evidence to deal with global challenges of Climate Change, Energy and Food Security, Migration and the New Industrial Revolution.  Ironically, the prevalence of technology has created a sort of disengagement with the underlying principles of how nature and society interact and how our planet actually functions.  This widening gulf is putting our prosperity, and even existence, at peril! If you want to be ahead of the game and be part of the solution, rather than a victim of these looming, seemingly insurmountable problems, regardless of your academic discipline, major, or career choice, come and attend the Global Challenges Programme this December in Cambridge, UK. World class scientists, experienced and young, will help you familiarise with the underlying and interconnected physical, sociological and economic processes behind upcoming technologies yet to be reported in newspapers and on internet blogs. An emphasis will be on understanding principal causes and possible solutions to address global challenges.
