SUMMARY:Clinton Global Initiative 2024 Meeting
DESCRIPTION:The Clinton Global Initiative 2024 Meeting will convene on 23-24 September 2024 in New York\, NY. \n\n\n\nThe CGI 2024 Meeting\, timed to be alongside the U.N. General Assembly\, will bring together business\, government\, and civil society leaders to build upon over 4\,000 Commitments to Action since CGI was first founded – driving progress on climate resilience\, inclusive economic growth and recovery\, health equity\, humanitarian response\, equality for women and girls\, and other issues. \n\n\n\nHighlights from the CGI 2023 Meeting program include: \n\n\n\n\nPresident Clinton opening CGI 2023 with a special conversation with His Holiness Pope Francis via remote link\, on what it takes to keep going on the most pressing global challenges of our time like climate change\, the refugee crisis\, the welfare of children\, and the mission and projects of the Bambino Gesù Children’s Hospital. Watch the full conversation between President Clinton and His Holiness Pope Francis here.\n\n\n\nSecretary Clinton and Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen discussing the care economy\, the economic response to the COVID-19 pandemic\, U.S. foreign policy\, and more in a fireside chat. Watch the full conversation between Secretary Clinton and Secretary Yellen here.\n\n\n\nDr. Chelsea Clinton and partners announcing the CGI Women and Girls pillar\, a core focus area for CGI aimed specifically and ambitiously at achieving full equality and equity for women and girls once and for all. Read more on the launch of the CGI Women and Girls pillar.\n\n\n\nThe launch of the CGI Ukraine Action Network with 19 CGI commitment-makers\, in a session featuring Olena Zelenska\, First Lady of Ukraine\, the recipient of the 2023 Clinton Global Citizen Award. Read more on the launch of the Ukraine Action Network.\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Clinton Global Initiative \n\n\n\nFounded by President Bill Clinton in 2005\, the Clinton Global Initiative is a community of doers representing a broad cross section of society and dedicated to the idea that we can accomplish more together than we can apart.  Through CGI’s unique model\, more than 10\,000 organizations have launched more than 4\,000 Commitments to Action — new\, specific\, and measurable projects and programs – that are making a difference in the lives of more than 500 million people in 180 countries. \n\n\n\nFor information about CGI 2024 and highlights from the CGI 2023 Meeting please visit clintonglobal.org/2024. Further details on the meeting\, including the theme\, programming\, and featured attendees\, will be announced in the coming months.

SUMMARY:Virtual AMR Codeathon
DESCRIPTION:The National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) is joining forces with the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) to co-host a virtual codeathon\, Resistance is Futile: A codeathon to combat antimicrobial resistance\, which will take place September 23-27\, 2024. \nThis event is an opportunity to explore the National Database of Antibiotic Resistant Organisms (NDARO) and related AMR data with NCBI Pathogen Detection tools\, such as the Isolates\, MicroBIGG-E\, and Antibiotic Susceptibility Test (AST) Browsers to identify additional data that may be useful for your project.  \nDuring the week-long codeathon\, you will collaborate with your team to accomplish the following objectives:  \n\nIdentify loss-of-function genetic variations that contribute to AMR.\nFind and classify mobile genetic elements that contribute to AMR in draft genomes. Note: This work could integrate sequence data with epidemiological\, transmission\, and antibiotic sensitivity testing data to identify patterns and directions of co-migrating of AMR genes or plasmids.\nElucidate AMR biomarkers for historically hard-to-predict bacterial species (e.g.\, Acinetobacter\, Pseudomonas).\n\nLearn more at the NCBI’s Virtual AMR Codeathon website. Applications are due by 28 July.

SUMMARY:Pandemics\, Climate\, Conflict: Preventing Future Shocks
DESCRIPTION:Pandemics\, Climate\, Conflict: Preventing Future Shocks is a hybrid UN General Assembly week side event hosted by the Pandemic Action Network (PAN)\, the Independent Panel for Pandemic Preparedness and Response\, and Resilience Action Network Africa (RANA). \nHow can this year’s UN Summit of the Future (Sept. 22-23) serve as a springboard for action in the year ahead? \nThis event will include former Heads of State and government\, senior policymakers\, and non-governmental leaders sharing their perspectives on the current political state of play\, opportunities\, and actions necessary to ensure we are prepared to respond to\, and prevent\, future global shocks. \nRSVP here.

SUMMARY:Assessing and Navigating Biosecurity Concerns and Benefits of Artificial Intelligence Use in the Life Sciences
DESCRIPTION:This is the 2nd information gathering meeting of the consensus study\, Assessing and Navigating Biosecurity Concerns and Benefits of Artificial Intelligence Use in the Life Sciences. The open session of this information gathering meeting will include briefings containing information relevant to study issues followed by a discussion with the committee. \nThe convergence of artificial intelligence (AI) and life sciences is an emerging area of research and development with promising benefits and applications but may also have security implications. This committee will consider the ways in which AI-enabled biological design tools and biological data sets for training AI can increase and mitigate biosecurity risks\, specifically on concerns of transmissible biological threats that could pose significant epidemic and pandemic-scale consequences. \nThe agenda includes a panel on high-performance computing in life sciences and biological data resources and infrastructure. \nThis meeting will be held over zoom. A recording of the open meeting will be available after it has ended.
