Science is a collaborative endeavour

In January 2019, the arrival of Director Iain Mattaj marked the beginning of the Human Technopole Foundation. Since then, we have made great progress, structuring our administrative offices, refurbishing existing buildings and creating new spaces for our first experimental laboratories.  

The global pandemic which hit the world in 2020 caused unimaginable difficulties and loss to people all over the world, forcing us all to change our habits and work at a distance. Despite these challenges, Human Technopole managed to continue its growth and development, particularly in terms of recruiting key scientific and leadership figures.   

This would never have been possible without the voluntary support and assistance of dozens of international scientists from institutes and universities all over the world who took part in our independent recruitment panels to help us identify suitable candidates on the basis of merit and scientific excellence. To us this proves once again that science knows no borders and is a highly cooperative and collaborative endeavour, bringing together people of all backgrounds and nationalities.   

We wish to thank all those who have supported us until now. We hope you will continue to follow our journey in the years to come.
