The update, sent in an email to the Yale community, included the University’s plans for five multidisciplinary areas of focus: data science and computer science, neuroscience, inflammation science, planetary solutions and quantum science, engineering and materials. The areas are reflective of the “five ideas for top-priority investment,” as described in the University Science Strategy Committee’s May 2018 executive summary. These ideas include data science, engineering and materials and neuroscience, among others. In his announcement, Salovey also discussed progress on the Kline Tower Project, neuroscience institute at 100 College Street and the investment in the new physical sciences and engineering building.

Across our campus, we are emphasizing Yale’s commitment to sciences and engineering to spark discoveries that can improve lives,” Salovey wrote in the email update last Tuesday. “...

The University is also building academic bridges between the School of Architecture, School of Environment, Department of Economics and Department of Sociology to research and create strategies targeting local and global environmental perils, such as climate change. University Provost Scott Strobel is set to meet with faculty across arts, humanities, social science, science and engineering to discuss implementation of the strategies.
