The next big question
To celebrate a quarter century of achievements in advanced research, the Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR) is organizing a national tour of public forums to celebrate its 25th anniversary and to get Canadians talking about what they think "The Next Big Question" the world will face in coming years. At each event, three researchers from different CIFAR programs will make a lively and spirited case for why their area of collaborative study represents the next big question. The audience will join in the discussion and vote on which question they think is the biggest and most pressing. The national tour stops in Calgary on Thursday, November 8. At this event, the following questions will be championed: How can we control single electrons? How does the Earth change over time? What is the nature of the universe?
