What are challenges of the future?
Our civilization is faced with many problems among which issues related to climate change, energy, water, demographic changes, food, environment, AI, sustainability, are the most problematic. To overcome most of the problems related to those issues there are needed political decisions based on scientific knowledge and research. It is obvious that, in this process, sscience and technology should provide answers such to enable prosperity and economic growth based on sustainable development. That should involve competitive research characterized by national and international cooperation. Certainly, this process will be based on many different prediction–hypothesis within science based forecasts. It is the most important when talking on future to appreciate difference between hypothesis and prediction– science fiction vs. short term and long term forecasts.
It is the duty of scientific community to establish good communication and collaboration with the representatives of the society, the politicians, convincing them that basic research should contribute to the development of a country. Obviously, there cannot be development without basic research. It has to be realised that basic research is source of knowledge, being powerful educational tool in training highly qualified human capital, and source of prestige for nations, institutions and individuals-
Certainly, the technologies are strongly related to scientific research- There are many new emerging technologies among which the most promising, that will redefine the future and the world we live in, are :Artificial Intelligence, The Growth Rate of Self-Driving Cars, Advanced Robotics, Smart Clothes, Space Travel, Cloud Computing, Augmented Reality, Smart Glasses and some more-
It should be stressed that scientific research involves systematic and organized examination of phenomenon, often involving experimental research. Certainly, it is the big question can science and technology be predicted, appreciating that basic research is source of a new knowledge? One has to appreciate that basic research is not needed only to rich countries, but equaly for a country with limited economic resources.
