Extract
Founded on the tenets of scientific independence and the inquisitive nature of the human mind, the Ernst Strüngmann Forum is dedicated to the continual expansion of knowledge. Through its innovative communication process, the Ernst Strüngmann Forum provides a creative environment within which experts scrutinize high-priority issues from multiple vantage points.
This process begins with the identification of themes. By nature, a theme constitutes a problem area that transcends classic disciplinary boundaries. It is of high-priority interest, requiring concentrated, multidisciplinary input to address the issues. Proposals are received from leading scientists active in their field and reviewed by an independent Scientific Advisory Board. Once approved, we convene a steering committee to refine the scientific parameters of the proposal and select participants. Approximately one year later, a central gathering, or Forum, is held to which circa forty experts are invited.
Preliminary discussion for this theme began in 2012. Impetus behind this theme was the growing concern that human beings may inadvertently be contributing to an epidemic of trace metal deficiency—one that affects billions of people worldwide and is especially prevalent in developing countries. From January 26–29, 2013, the Program Advisory Committee met to transform the approved proposal into a working scientific framework that would support the ensuing discussion. The collective expertise and international experience of the committee members— Rodney R. Dietert, Jerome O. Nriagu, Lothar Rink, Anthony B. Schryvers, and Eric P. Skaar—were instrumental in refining the issues for debate.
