Human Digitalisation
with Philippe Gerwill “Philippe Gerwill talks mainly about digital transformation, focusing on how to use technology to better serve humanity and not the other way around. He illustrates his talk with interesting concrete examples and amazing people that he met on his journey.”
Energy Efficiency
with Michael Pachlatko “The European Commission’s proposed Green Deal is not lacking in ambition: mobilising 1 trillion Euros over the next decade will lead to a fundamentally different energy infrastructure across the continent. At the same time, the financial industry is increasingly put under scrutiny to disclose environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria in the portfolio reporting. How can we ensure this transition will indeed be to the benefit of all citizens, and what is needed to accelerate capital deployment specifically in critical areas like energy efficiency and renewable energy?”

Africa: A Ticking Bomb
with Cristiana Benedetti Fasil “The demographics of Africa are unique. Sixty percent of the population is below 25 years old. However, millions of youth lack employment and educational opportunities and cannot develop their full potential. Especially girls and young women are disadvantaged. Women are the backbone of the society. Their empowerment is the key to an inclusive and sustainable economic development. We cannot let down the youth of Africa and we need to act now to defuse the ticking bomb of youth unemployment. With Social Venture Africa we want to make our small contribution to address the challenge.”

Rare birds return when livestock grazing has stopped
After a particularly long week of computer based work on my PhD, all I wanted was to hike somewhere exciting with a rich wildlife. A friend commiserated with me – I was based at Newcastle University at the time, and this particular friend wasn’t keen on the UK’s wilderness, its moorlands and bare uplands, compared to the large tracts of woodland and tropical forests that can be found more readily abroad.
