Frontiers Science House has announced plans to convene more than 100 scientific leaders from 16 countries in Davos alongside the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting 2026, with the aim of strengthening the role of scientific evidence in global decision-making.
The initiative is designed to address the disconnect between scientific advances and policy, capital, and governance systems by creating a dedicated forum where research insights can inform decisions at the highest levels. The program will include more than 50 sessions spanning open science, health, climate, technology, and governance.
Participants will include senior leaders from academia, industry, government, and international organizations, with representation from CEOs, ministers, Nobel laureates, university presidents, and leading researchers. The program is intended to place science alongside economics in discussions shaping global priorities.
Scientific contributions will include perspectives from Nobel Prize laureates on translating foundational research into practical impact, as well as sessions examining emerging technologies such as quantum science and artificial intelligence. Discussions on AI-enabled drug discovery will feature contributions from organizations across the life sciences sector.
The agenda also includes the launch of new initiatives focused on global genomic data exchange, omic mapping, and the Frontiers Planet Prize. Additional sessions will explore the future of knowledge in the context of artificial intelligence and the evolving role of open science.
Policy engagement will form a central component of the program, with participation from European and international policymakers, space and innovation leaders, and representatives from global research and funding organizations.
Frontiers has positioned Science House as a platform for accelerating the translation of scientific discovery into societal and economic impact by bringing researchers and decision-makers into closer dialogue during a week that influences global agendas.
