3moConvergence Research Centers of Excellence could be essential for tackling today’s complex challenges climate change, public health, inequality, and the ethical dilemmas of AI. These problems demand more than isolated technical solutions; they require insights from social sciences, humanities, and technology working together. These centers may be not just academic spaces, they could be dynamic ecosystems where engineers, philosophers, sociologists, and data scientists could collaborate to design solutions that are innovative, inclusive, and grounded in human experience. By breaking disciplinary silos, they could foster holistic thinking, produce policy-relevant research, and train future leaders who can bridge the gap between the measurable and the meaningful. To build a just, sustainable future, we must invest in such collaborative, cross-disciplinary platforms. great initiative !
