GLOBAL CREATIVE LEADERSHIP SUMMIT DISCUSSION TOPICS
Innovation
Internet and New Technology
Despite being seen as commonplace today, information technology continues to transform businesses,
governments, social relationships, commerce and the way we understand ourselves and our neighbors.
The Summit investigates the innovative potential of IT and its impact at the local and global levels.
Global Health
Genomics
Biological Components of Behavior
Research Capacity and Development
As part of ongoing research efforts and involvement with the sciences, the Global Health session aims to
address research in genomics and how new developments in synthetic and computational biology can
help cure cancer, Alzheimer’s and serious epidemics. The subject of Biological Components of
Behavior plays a key role within the context of Global Health, as well as in many other Summit panels, since
neuroscience has much to tell us regarding emotion, behavior and decision-making processes that is applicable
to other disciplines. Research Capacity and Development and the ability of the scientific and medical
communities to adapt and develop research programs that are tailored to the needs of local communities are
part of the critical discussions in the Global Health session.
Education, Creativity and the Mind
The Summit brings together leaders in neuroscience, the arts, sports and education to identify the best
practices to promote mental, physical and social development so individuals can creatively address the
challenges of the 21st century. This panel is intimately related to the Foundation’s interest in understanding
how neurological processes, at every stage of life relate to individuals’ ability to learn, create and understand
one other. This Summit session lasts some four hours and brings together a multidisciplinary spectrum of
thinkers on human development to address the issue.
