Brain disease biology, neural circuit basis and cognition for future therapy 
Most, if not all, brain disorders cause wide-spread dysregulation of both neural processing and subsequent behavior. Development of novel treatments therefore often need to consider the full scale of measurements, from neuron to behavior.

Theme 5: Hybrid Infrastructure for Urban Sustainability

Hybrid infrastructure for urban sustainability

Climate change, urbanization, and demographic transition impose new challenges for urban infrastructure and planning, requiring new solutions for the urban infrastructure landscape, including nature-based solutions and decentralized and localized hybrid infrastructure. Transforming our urban environment for a more sustainable one must be a priority to accommodate ageing population and protect human health, provide adequate services, and prevent damages from growing calamities (heat waves and wildfires, floods).
