The University of Chicago Wisdom Research Forum 2014, published August 6, 2014, featured three lectures. Jason Swartwood, a philosophy doctoral candidate at the University of Minnesota, explored how wisdom is defined and recognized.

Sayuri Hayakawa from the University of Chicago Psychology Department discussed how bilingualism and language influence cognition. She noted that a lack of expertise can sometimes enhance creativity and lead to wiser decisions.

Guilherme Albieri of SUNY presented on wisdom's relationship to academic and clinical success. He highlighted that wise individuals possess superior self-regulatory and interpersonal skills, which mediate their interaction with the environment.

The session "Bridging the digital skills divide" will take place on Tuesday, 17 September 2024, from 14:00 – 15:15. It addresses the critical lack of digital knowledge and skills, a primary barrier to Internet use and closing the digital divide.

The discussion will explore the needs of specific groups, including the elderly, persons with disabilities, farmers, and women in rural communities, who face significant usage gaps. Experts will highlight intergenerational skill disparities and present successful digital initiatives.

The session aims to identify concrete actions, solutions, and tools for inclusive digital capacity development, contributing to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Manufacturers often make unsubstantiated claims about bioplastics' environmental benefits, such as faster breakdown or reduced climate impact. Without federal standards, companies freely label products "biodegradable" or "compostable," leading to widespread misleading marketing.

To help consumers and businesses navigate these claims, Beyond Plastics released "Demystifying Biodegradable and Compostable Plastics" on July 11, 2024. This report evaluates bioplastics materials, voluntary standards, safety research, and waste management, providing a checklist for informed decision-making.
