Science Briefs by the Scientific Advisory Board are produced regularly, with priorities set by the Board Members based on the advice of the Secretary-General. Each brief is developed through extensive consultations, initially with the Board Members and the scientific network institutions supporting the Board, and further informed by contributions from a wide range of scientific experts worldwide. The briefs are grounded in a comprehensive review of the latest scientific literature, ensuring rigorous and well-informed perspectives.

Neurotechnology

Neurotechnology advances, particularly in the field of brain-computer interfaces, are poised to become a far more routine part of our lives, moving well beyond medical treatment. The widespread use of these technologies raises ethical, human rights, and security concerns.

Advances in synthetic biology are rapidly transforming a range of sectors, with increasingly global implications in the fields of health, security, environment, and human rights.
