NACI dinner meeting with Prof John Wood
17 May 2010 at Villa Sterne
“The trouble with our times is that the future is not what it used to be.” Paul Valery (1871-1945). Prof John Wood, Chair of the 
European Research Area Board, used this quotation during a NACI dinner presentation to highlight the fact that researchers have to be empowered to respond to a changing global research environment and to mounting global challenges. He shared six strategic approaches for European research to effectively respond to mounting challenges: global warming, scarce water, energy shortages, healthcare, etc. He also discussed the implications for doctoral training in the future.
