Shaping the Future of Human Enhancement

July 18, 2016 by Alvaro Fernandez

wef—–

Dear Sharp­Brains community,

It is an hon­or to share that I’ve been asked to join the Coun­cil on the Future of Human Enhance­ment, orga­nized by the World Eco­nom­ic Forum, for its 2016–2018 term. It will be my plea­sure to con­tribute as much as pos­si­ble to the ini­tia­tive, and also to engage you as much as I can.

As described in the invi­ta­tion, “In a glob­al envi­ron­ment marked by short-term ori­en­ta­tion and siloed think­ing, the net­work fos­ters inter­dis­ci­pli­nary and long-range think­ing to sup­port a sus­tain­able and equi­table future…The Net­work of Glob­al Future Coun­cils is a glob­al com­mu­ni­ty of over 800 thought lead­ers who are the fore­most experts in their fields of acad­e­mia, busi­ness, gov­ern­ment, inter­na­tion­al orga­ni­za­tions and civ­il soci­ety. Grouped in 35 coun­cils, mem­bers com­mit their exten­sive knowl­edge, exper­tise and pas­sion to pro­vide for­ward-look­ing thought lead­er­ship for the Forum’s strate­gic ini­tia­tives through:

  • Analy­sis and actions to shape the key glob­al sys­tems, artic­u­lat­ing and mon­i­tor­ing a clear trans­for­ma­tion agenda
  • Deep­en­ing under­stand­ing of the dri­vers and enablers of the Fourth Indus­tri­al Rev­o­lu­tion as well as its impact on glob­al systems
  • Con­tex­tu­al­iz­ing these shifts with­in the main regional/ nation­al con­texts and dis­cern­ing impli­ca­tions for decisionmakers”

Will keep you posted!

Álvaro
