100+ Champalimaud

The unknown, 100 years from now: A voyage of discovery

It is envisaged that a child born in the year 2015 may well have a life expectancy of one hundred years. But what will our world look like 100 years from now? Will new frontiers of science, medicine and technology change our societies beyond recognition? Will our values and morals remain the same?

Looking closely at this issue requires that we take our thinking out of the short-term and project our vision over the next century. To do this, the Champalimaud Foundation has invited a world-renowned group of speakers from across a variety of disciplines to discuss and speculate on our future. Humanists, scientists, business leaders, sociologists, authors and political figures will join together in Lisbon on December 4th and 5th 2015 to think through the world our children and grandchildren will inhabit one hundred years from now. Together they will embark on a voyage of discovery as they look to the unknown, 100 years from now.
