Scientists Meet Scientists – TUM-IAS Wednesday Coffee Talk | Seminar Series of European Universities on Sustainability by Prof. Michael Zgurovsky: "Main Threats to the Sustainable Development of Global Society in a Conflicting World"
Events, WCT, Seminar Series on Sustainability |
On 30 October 2024, Prof. Michael Zgurovsky (Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute, National Technical University of Ukraine) will present the first talk of the winter term in our Seminar Series of European Universities on Sustainability. The talk is entitled "Main Threats to the Sustainable Development of Global Society in a Conflicting World".
Abstract:
This study analyzes the development patterns of systemic world conflicts that have occurred from 750 BC to the present. Through the intellectual analysis of big data on these conflicts, a Fibonacci pattern in their progression over time was identified. An attempt was made to predict the next global conflict, referred to as the "conflict of the 21st century. "The study examined the nature of this conflict and identified the main global threats that shape it, influencing the sustainable development of the global community.
Hypotheses were developed regarding the metric relationships among global periodic processes, specifically: the Kondratiev cycles of world economic development, the sequence of 11-year solar activity cycles, and the process of evolutionary structuring of the C-wave family of world systemic conflicts. An effort was also made to forecast these processes in the 21st century, along with recommendations for organized actions by the global community to promote sustainable development.

Seminar Series of European Universities on Sustainability
As part of the ongoing commitment of the TUM-IAS to foster scientific exchange and professional networks, the Seminar Series of European Universities on Sustainability aims to bring together scientists from research institutions in Eastern, Southeastern, and Central Europe to discuss topics related to the 17 Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations. This seminar series is a first step to bridge the geographical and academic gaps in order to create a scientific network, and encourage joint research initiatives and build lasting collaborations for a more sustainable future.
THE TUM-IAS WEDNESDAY COFFEE TALKS
Every Wednesday after lunch, it's all about a new topic - current research highlights at TUM, insights into the work of our Fellows from all over the world, sometimes even topics not usually found at TUM, such as history or theology.
The talks held online start every Wednesday during TUM lecture time at 13:00 CE(S)T. Everyone is welcome - TUM researchers of all levels, students, visiting scholars, and anyone interested!
Once a month, a topic related to the United Nations' 17 Sustainable Development Goals will be featured as a part of the Seminar Series of European Universities on Sustainability, a new initiative of the TUM-IAS in partnership with universities across Central, Eastern, and Southeastern Europe.
