On 1 and 2 October, the Secretary-General's Scientific Advisory Board convened in the Dag Hammarskj?ld Library at United Nations Headquarters in New York for its annual retreat. Over two days, Board members and network institutions had dialogues with the Secretary-General and Deputy Secretary-General, engaged with the diplomatic community at the Mission of Switzerland, and discussed a public statement supporting Inclusive Science. The retreat also featured a debate on which frontier science breakthroughs should be a priority for the Board's Science Briefs reviews – with Climate, Artificial Intelligence, and Biotechnology resonating strongest.
