SUMMARY:(REF 181602) Digital Utilities for Translational Science and Community Living Labs

SUMMARY:Community Organized Event: Invitation to UN discussion on 3D Printing: Its Potential and Implications for International Security
DESCRIPTION:Dear Colleagues\,\n\nYou are invited to a conversation with the Japanese Permanent Representative to the UN\, UN Under-Secretary General Izumi Nakamitsu\, on 3D Printing: Its Potential and Implications for International Security. The event will occur from 1000-1100 ET this Thursday\, 02 December (0700-0800 Pacific).\n\nLike other emerging technologies\, 3D printing offers the prospects of new possibilities for progress and human uplift. As technology\, 3D printing does not pose a threat in and of itself. It has the capability to yield great benefits for society. However\, this capability can also be redirected for malign ends. \nMany of the same characteristics that make it valuable to legitimate manufacturers—speed to delivery\, on-demand production\, more efficient inventory management\, design innovation\, and lower barriers to entry into new markets—can be used for nefarious purposes\, including in ways that could have negative implications for international security. Given the further technological development of 3D printing and its real-world applications over the past few years\, this event will discuss the likely next steps and how the United Nations can play a constructive role\, including in the field of non-proliferation. \n\nhttps://stimsoncenter.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_Sx86OH61R9KBUEpsUDTVVw?utm_source=Stimson+Center&utm_campaign=c010cef739-StD%2FTTS%2FTurtle+Bay+Webinar&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_15c3e20f70-c010cef739-4625020
