This conference presented the novel concept of brain capital, which puts a premium on cognitive skills and abilities in accomplishing socio-economic objectives. Building brain capital is fundamental for meeting modern societal challenges and driving innovation. Brain deals are large-scale and brain science-inspired policy strategies that can harness advanced artificial intelligence and boost the implementation of several UN Sustainable Development Goals at national and global levels. This event focused on how brain deals can support implementation by 2030.
(On the model of the brain deal, see the recent Baker Institute issue brief “Toward a Comprehensive Brain Deal to Harness the Potential of Artificial Intelligence.”)
This event was co-sponsored by the Baker Institute Center for Health and Biosciences and was part of the ninth edition of the Science Summit around the 78th United Nations General Assembly (UNGA78). Organized by the International Science Council (ISC) and its partners, the summit took place on September 12-29, 2023.
About the Summit
The role and contribution of science to attaining the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) was the central theme of the summit. The objective was to develop and launch science collaborations to demonstrate global science mechanisms and activities to support the attainment of the UN SDGs, Agenda 2030 and Local2030. The meeting also prepared input for the United Nations Summit of the Future, which took place during UNGA79 beginning on September 12, 2024.
