Topic	Description
Child Health	Children represent the future, and ensuring their healthy growth and development ought to be a prime concern of all societies. Newborns are particularly vulnerable and children are vulnerable to malnutrition and infectious diseases, many of which can be effectively prevented or treated.
Climate Change	"Climate change" is the term used to refer to changes in the average weather over time; as short a period as a few decades or as long as thousands of years. The changes may come from Earth processes (volcano eruptions, orbital variations), can be driven by external forces (level of solar activity) and more recently, can result from human activities (deforestation, use of fossil fuels for energy).
Common Neurological Disease	Neurological conditions are among the most prevalent disorders affecting people in the world today and exact a large toll on everyday life, causing lost work days, impacting relationships and altering life chances in untold ways. Unlike other biological conditions, neurologically-based disorders may go unrecognized and bear considerable stigma, primarily attributable to lack of understanding.
Cross border health care	The increasing movement of citizens for work, holiday and study, and of patients and health professionals, respectively, seeking or offering health care in an enlarged European Union calls for a better coordination of health systems and policies across the EU.
Diagnosis, information to the patient, genetic counselling	The time of diagnosis is a very emotional life changing time for patients and their families. Whether genetic or not, diagnostic tests are provided by many entities, and can be announced by many different types of professionals with different experiences and backgrounds.
Energy and Sustainability	The European Union is leading the global fight against climate change, and has made it a top priority. Its ambitious targets are spelt out in the EU Climate Action and Renewable Energy Package, which commits Member States to curb their CO2 emissions by at least 20% by 2020.
Global migrations	Man has always migrated. The mobility of the species has gradually populated our planet, with humans now spread across the globe. Traditionally, up until the first half of the 20th century, migration flows went south to north. However, since 1950 these movements have been somewhat reversed. Demographers draw a distinction between a foreigner – a notion that takes into account nationality – and an immigrant – a notion that refers to the country of birth.

HIV/AIDS and legal responsibility	A number of cases have been reported in which people living with HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) have been criminally charged for a variety of acts that transmit HIV or risk transmission. In some cases, criminal charges have been laid for conduct that is merely perceived as risking transmission, sometimes with very harsh penalties imposed. Some jurisdictions have moved to enact or amend legislation specifically to address such conduct.
Nanotechnology	Nanotechnology is a diverse field including any activities at the level of atoms and molecules (or more specifically between 1 and 100nanometers) that could have applications in the real world. In recognition of this diversity many people prefer to talk of nanotechnologies than of nanotechnology.
Neonatal screening	Newborn screening is the process of testing newborn babies for treatable genetic, endocrinologic, metabolic and hematologic diseases.
Neuroscience – “brain enhancements”	It is likely that drugs created to treat illness will also be able to enhance our natural abilities. Medication to treat Alzheimer‘s disease is likely to improve considerably normal memory function as well. Stimulating medicines, now used to treat children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, also increase the ability of the ‘normal’ brain to concentrate. One‘s emotional state can also be improved.
