A forum held as part of the University of Sydney Innovation Week 2016. How can today’s research inform tomorrow’s public policy, drive technological innovation and inspire our creative sectors? For this special forum we brought together diverse voices from the fields of biology, politics, food security and energy production, and ask them to project into the future. What does their research tell us about the possibilities for our world in 25 years? Will the obesity epidemic reach a tipping point where government intervention in individual freedom is inevitable? Are there any signs the next generation of voters in representative democracies will soon challenge intergenerational inequality? When will research in health and agriculture come together to empower local communities to take control of food production and ensure their own food security? How soon will shifting global economics force the transition of the world’s economy from fossil fuels to a renewable energy era?
