The objective of the workshop is to identify key questions for the future from a range of perspectives across the physical and life sciences, engineering, arts and social sciences. Themes to be considered include:
- Visions of the deep future - Pathways to the deep future; avoiding hubris and dystopia - Anthropocene environments - Labour, craft and welfare in a technological future - Micro-to-macro; technology at extremes of length-scale and time-scale
Following the workshop an evening public lecture will be delivered by Michael Shellenberger (President, Environmental Progress) ‘Why Energy Transitions are the Keys to Universal Prosperity, Clean Air and Water, and More Room for Nature by 2050’, to be delivered as part of the Glasgow Science Festival (<A TARGET="_blank" HREF="http://www.glasgowsciencefestival.org.uk/events/sciencefestival/eventsandprojects/glasgowsciencefestival/adult/headline_325505_en.html" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">register separately here</A>).
