Programme Committee

The Programme Committee was nominated by the Board of Trustees of the Academia Engelberg Foundation, taking into account the theme of the 5th Dialogue on Science. Not only does the composition reflect the high level of interdisciplinarity, but the members are also chosen for their specific knowledge, their experience and their links to the theme of the conference.
