Abstract

The "Transitions" International Research Center focuses on interdisciplinary efforts to tackle complex global challenges. Spanning fields like humanities, biology, oceanography, quantum technologies, environmental science, and computational methodologies, the goal is to foster significant scientific breakthroughs and prepare a new generation of scientific leaders. The center's structure is built around collaborative scientific pillars with varying levels of maturity, generating synergies to drive transformative projects.Key priorities include research on sustainable megacities, eco-friendly supply chains, sustainable ocean economy, and emerging technologies such as quantum computing and artificial intelligence. These initiatives aim to integrate science, technology, and innovation to address issues like climate change, public health, environmental conservation, and sustainable development.The interdisciplinary approach connects experts from diverse fields to develop comprehensive solutions that benefit local communities and promote international collaborations. With a focus on innovation and inclusivity, the center positions itself as a model for creating scientific and social impact. (AU)
