SUMMARY:Nature – Science – Society
DESCRIPTION:The Leopoldina was founded as an association by four physicians
  in the 17th century. Ten years ago, it was appointed to be National Academ
 y of Sciences for Germany. The Annual Assembly 2018 will illustrate the ach
 ievements of the Leopoldina’s working groups, its recommendations, and inte
 rnational activities. In the session “Science and Society”, the topics of d
 emography and socialization will be addressed, whilst the session “Environm
 ent and Energy” will focus on food security and agriculture in Africa, and 
 the future of energy supply, as well as on artificial photosynthesis. The s
 ession “Diseases and Risks” centres around antimicrobial resistance as well
  as migration-related trauma. Finally, the session “Modern Technologies and
  Digitalisation” will address Big Data as well as topics such as quantum te
 chnology and robotics. Examples of responses to these themes, in both publi
 c and politics, will be presented. In this context, a Panel Discussion enti
