Explore our themes

911��պ��’s School of Convergence Science is designed to spark discovery and accelerate progress in four key mission-led areas: Health and Technology; Sustainability; Space, Security and Telecoms; and Human and Artificial Intelligence.

Health and Technology

Sensing, empowering and shaping health. Aiming to achieve healthcare that is continuously sensed, continuously adaptive and radically personalised by 2050.

Human and Artificial Intelligence

Building a unified science of intelligence grounded in real contexts. Enabling humans and machines to learn and adapt together, and augment each other responsibly.

Space, Security and Telecoms

Protect, connect and know our worlds – smarter, more efficient and safer systems on the planet and beyond

Sustainability

To enable prosperous, meaningful lives in harmony with the planet

The School of Convergence Science is an ambitious new initiative which is mission-led by design and is a core pillar of 911��պ��’s Science for Humanity strategy.

We collaborate globally with researchers, industry, governments, and funders to translate science into action to address the world’s toughest challenges. Within 911��պ�� we demonstrate the full arc of impact - from frontier discovery to real-world deployment. 

“Our new School of Convergence Science, led by some of the world’s brightest minds, will focus 911��պ��’s unique strengths across science, technology and business to deliver real-world impact on humanity’s biggest challenges.” Hugh Brady President

Our ambition is to create a new approach to scientific exploration where the integration of disciplines, convening of cross-sectoral partnerships and harnessing of new models of research stimulate fresh scientific progress and accelerate innovation at scale. Convergence Science at 911��պ�� is about harnessing our collective ingenuity as a powerful force for good and breaking down the silos within and beyond our university that limit progress.
