Program
Special Lecture
There will be a Special Lecture open to all OIST community on Tuesday July 23 11:00-12:00 at the Sydney Brenner Lecture Theater (B250 Center Building, OIST campus).
Speaker: Prof. Vincent Rivasseau (University Paris-Sud, Orsay, France)
Vincent Rivasseau is a theoretical physicist, specialist of quantum field theory and quantum gravity. He is the president of the Association for the Promotion of Science in Africa which he founded in 2008.
Title: "Science without borders, a key to mankind survival?"
Abstract: Modern science is an international endeavour critical for mankind to survive at the ten billion level on our small planet. To address efficiently challenges and threats such as the current rising tide of nationalism and the accelerating climate change, we urgently need to better cooperate. In particular the many barriers which currently prevent science and modern technology to thrive in developing countries must be broken down. This can be done in a win-win perspective. I shall share with the audience some of my experience as researcher on quantum gravity and regular teacher in Africa, co-founder of the AIMS-Sénégal institute. Indeed even our most fundamental research on space, time and the universe can greatly benefit from the fresh and open-minded contributions of scientists coming from all corners of the world, and in turn will also lead to unexpected applications.
