SUMMARY:Future Trends in the Bioeconomy and Changing Life Sciences Research Landscape
DESCRIPTION:The National Academies’ Board on Life Sciences is pleased to present two discussions – Bioeconomy of the Future and Changing Landscape of Life Science Research Laboratories – to explore critical and emerging issues with the bioeconomy and privately-sponsored basic life sciences research. \nThe life sciences research landscape is changing rapidly as new investments in the bioeconomy drive convergence among science and technology fields to develop new products and services\, and as basic research laboratories are established by private investors. \nThe Bioeconomy of the Future will explore: \n\nChanges that have taken place since publication of the National Bioeconomy Blueprint (2012)\, Safeguarding the Bioeconomy (2020)\, and The Bio Revolution: Innovations Transforming Economies\, Societies\, and our Lives (2020)\nImmediate and near-term developments associated with the bioeconomy\nFuture needs for realizing the full potential of the bioeconomy\nOutstanding needs for protecting and promoting the bioeconomy long-term\n\nFeatured Speakers \n\nMary Maxon\, Schmidt Futures\nAndrea Hodgson\, Schmidt Futures\nMichael Chui\, McKinsey & Company\n\nThe Changing Landscape of Life Sciences Research Laboratories will explore: \n\nShifts in the landscape of life sciences research based on the emergence of research institutes funded by for-profit companies\nThe benefits to the shifting life sciences research landscape\nPossible trade-offs related to life sciences research that are conducted at for-profit institutions\nEmerging trends in life science research landscape and how they relate to current and future public policy\nFuture workforce needs and how education might change to support these new institutions\n\nPlease visit the National Academies’ Future Trends in the Bioeconomy and Changing Life Sciences Research Landscape event page for more information.

SUMMARY:Public Health Workforce Calculator: Staffing up to Achieve Foundational Services
DESCRIPTION:In 2021\, an analysis of the public health workforce found that state and local governmental public health departments need an 80% increase in their workforce to provide a minimum set of public health services to the nation. In response to this gap\, the Public Health National Center for Innovations at PHAB\, de Beaumont Foundation\, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Center for State\, Tribal\, Local and Territorial Support developed the Public Health Workforce Calculator to aid local health departments in estimating staffing needs to provide the Foundational Public Health Services in their community. Join us on October 27th at 2PM ET to learn more about the Calculator and how it can contribute to workforce staffing needs and planning for public health funding. \nWebinar Objectives\n– Describe how the analysis was used to successfully build support for health departments\n– Explain the intended use of the recently released Public Health Workforce Calculator.\n– Demonstrate how to use the Calculator\, including identifying the Calculator’s best use cases.

SUMMARY:First WHO/Europe Indoor Air​ Conference 2023
DESCRIPTION:The First WHO/Europe Indoor Air​ Conference will be held 20 September 2023 in Bern\, Switzerland and via virtual participation. \nThe COVID-19 pandemic demonstrated the importance of ventilation to mitigate the transmission of respiratory disease. \nBeyond COVID-19 there is growing awareness that exposure to pollutants in indoor environments has a substantial impact on health\, productivity and performance. Large numbers of buildings do not have good ventilation or good indoor air quality\, and there are multiple other considerations including climate change\, energy\, comfort\, noise and security. \nHighlighted presentations include: \n\nThe indoor environment as a determinant for health\nInfection risk and IAQ in Swiss schools\nWhat do we need to achieve in buildings? What is realistic vs what is ideal?\nWhat do we know about the current state of IAQ in buildings?\nPandemic management through indoor pathogen transmission suppression – EU innovation funding\nChallenge and opportunity for Indoor Air – Learning from the pandemic\nImproving ventilation in Swiss buildings – IAQ as part of sustainability\nCompliance through information sharing in Belgium\nPriorities for improving indoor air in Switzerland\n\nThe event will be held in English and simultaneously translated in French\, German and Russian. \nPlease visit the WHO and Geneva Health Forum’s First WHO/Europe Indoor Air Conference website to register.

SUMMARY:Government Biotechnology Innovation Summit
DESCRIPTION:Join government leaders at the forefront on how biotechnology is transforming the economic\, agricultural\, healthcare and security landscape of the U.S. \nThe 2023 Government Biotechnology Innovation Summit will be held 27-28 September 2023 in the DC Capitol Region. \nBe part of the discussion of the advancement of innovative biotechnology and biomanufacturing solutions across agencies and sectors as a means of furthering and securing U.S. National Interests. \nIn September 2022\, the White House announced an Executive Order launching a National Biotechnology and Bio-manufacturing Initiative with a $2 billion funding plan to further drive a national strategy for expanding the domestic bioeconomy and biomanufacturing capacity. \nThe Government Biotechnology Innovation Summit will offer a forum for leaders to discuss how the government employs biotechnology for national security purposes\, including biodefense initiatives\, surveillance of infectious diseases\, and the prevention and response to biological threats. \nHighlighted speakers include: \n\nRenee Wegrzyn\, PhD – Director\, Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H)\nKerri Dugan\, PhD – Director\, Biological Technologies Office\, Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA)\nPeter Marks\, MD\, PhD – Director\, Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research\, Food and Drug Administration (FDA)\nDeirdra Chester\, PhD – Director\, Office of the Chief Scientist\, US Department of Agriculture (USDA)\nCari Young\, ScM – Acting Division Director\, Biosafety\, Biosecurity\, and Emerging Biotechnology\, National Institutes of Health (NIH)\nSimon Malcomber\, PhD – Deputy Assistant Director\, Directorate for Biological Sciences\, National Science Foundation (NSF)\n\nThe Summit will also explore investing in research and development\, establishing regulations and guidelines\, and collaborating with academia and industry to harness the potential of biotechnology for the benefit of society as a whole. By harnessing the power of biotechnology through cooperation\, the government can improve public health outcomes through advanced diagnostics\, therapies\, and personalized medicine. Biotech innovations can also revolutionize sustainable agriculture by increasing crop yields\, developing drought and pest-resistant varieties\, and reducing environmental impact. \nPlease visit DSI’s Government Biotechnology Innovation Summit to register to attend. \nDefense Strategies Institute is an official partner of Global Biodefense
