Technology, Public Policy and Sustainability Research Cluster
Emerging technologies in biology, artificial intelligence, virtual reality,
information technology, and many other fields, have the potential to
rapidly disrupt the status quo and dramatically transform life,
business, and the global economy. These new technologies hold
amazing potential benefits but also pose significant risks. In this
context, it becomes essential to assess the role of these technologies
on society and their links with sustainable development, and
elaborate possible guidelines for policy action, especially in the
context of economic and social recovery from COVID-19 pandemic
situation.
This project is dedicated to the study of the role of technologies,
possibly disruption, and other innovations on society and business,
exploring possible links with sustainable development. The main
objective is to inform feasible and desirable policy formulation
aiming for sustainable development .
This cluster will investigate and assess the impact of disruptive
technologies on society, and its links with sustainable development.
More precisely, the cluster aims to discuss three main subprojects
and themes.
