ComLab #10 Living longer, living better – Sustainable innovation in healthcare, environmental research and technology

September 4 – 6, 2025 | live in Berlin

The dream, as old as mankind itself: a long and healthy life. New AI-based medical technologies, drugs, and diets could soon make it a reality. However, the desire for longevity and the need for more sustainable living conditions are not only a question of innovation but also hinge on access to resources and knowledge. That also includes social and ethical issues – from equity in health care to the protection of our environments and pathways in policy action. Local systems must adapt to meet the needs of their populations, and those strategies have to be embedded in a global context as sustainable (healthy) living is no longer a national issue.

ComLab#10 offers a platform for exploring new research in health care and medicine, food, urban planning, social sciences, agriculture, and AI that aims at establishing sustainable livelihoods. What will a healthy life look like in the future? What are the ideas that could really drive change? How can science and the media work together to find solutions in and for our interconnected world? We invite researchers of the Humboldt network and journalists of all fields with a keen interest in sustainable innovation to apply.

Application deadline: 16 May, 2025
