GESDA’s annual summit is the leading global platform is the leading global platform where science meets diplomacy to drive impactful change. Held annually in Geneva since 2021, the GESDA Summit convenes 1000+ scientists, diplomats, policymakers, innovators, executives and citizens to explore how cutting-edge advancements can address humanity’s most pressing challenges. From quantum computing and neurotechnology to climate action and global health, the Summit fosters high-level dialogue and strategic collaborations that transform breakthrough science into real-world solutions.
Longevity, neurotech: as science opens new possibilities for how long and how well we live, who decides what’s acceptable, and who gets access?
AI, quantum, robotics: as machines become both partners in solving humanity’s hardest problems and agents with real power over our lives, what rules can the world still agree on?
Synthetic biology, cell engineering: as science designs solutions to tackle disease and hunger, how do we govern tools powerful enough to reshape life itself?
Space, deep oceans, the poles: as planetary systems buckle, how do we protect what remains and restore what we’ve lost?
Disinformation, digital warfare, AI and education: as technology reshapes how we fight, learn and cooperate, what kind of societies do we want to build and who gets a say?
The Summit is informed by GESDA’s anticipatory insight on upcoming scientific and technological breakthroughs with major social impact and strategic relevance.
The GESDA Science Breakthrough Radar® is built on expert curation from a global community of 2400+ scientists from over 90 countries. It provides an overview of trends at 5, 10 and 25 years in 42 scientific topics.
The Radar helps leaders to:
The Radar has already supported key multilateral processes in International Geneva, from a neurotechnology resolution at the Human Rights Council, to the biosecurity implications of synthetic biology, or the applications of quantum algorithms to support the SDGs through the Open Quantum Institute, hosted at CERN.
Please note that some sessions are still in development and speakers will be confirmed on a rolling basis.
