The project \u201cVital Challenges for a New Era 2026. Geopolitics of Change. Power, Technology and Society\u201d<\/strong>, which the Royal European Academy of Doctors<\/strong> (READ) and the Pro Royal European Academy of Doctors Foundation<\/strong> presented on 5 June in the Chapter Hall of Toledo City Council<\/strong> \u05d1\u05de\u05e1\u05d2\u05e8\u05ea the Royal Corporation\u2019s National Congress<\/strong>, was featured on 24 June on the programme \u201cJAL\u2019s Laboratory\u201d<\/strong> broadcast by Spanish National Radio<\/strong>. Conceived as a comprehensive, multidisciplinary study of current issues analysed with scientific rigour, Vital<\/em> Challenges<\/em> is now in its sixth edition and includes an extensive monograph that brings together the contributions of academicians and experts of great international scientific prestige.<\/p>\n On this occasion, the project focuses on the emergence of a new multipolar order and the rise of artificial intelligence, together with the ethical, social and ecological challenges associated with this new era, from an integrative and forward-looking perspective, with the aim not merely of interpreting the present, but of guiding the future with responsibility, knowledge and awareness. \u201cThe Vital Challenges 2026 collection, promoted by the Royal European Academy of Doctors, starts from a very simple and timely idea: we are living through a change of era; we are not merely witnessing a chain of crises and technical innovations, but a profound transformation in how power is organised, how technology advances and how life in society is shaped,\u201d<\/strong> begins the programme\u2019s presenter, science communicator Jos\u00e9 Antonio L\u00f3pez Guerrero<\/strong> (JAL), Professor of Microbiology at the Autonomous University of Madrid<\/strong> and researcher at the Severo Ochoa Molecular Biology Centre<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
