This series is an informal educational opportunity for the UCSC community to engage with each other while learning about different themes within environmentalism, such as inclusive sustainability. Through this Fall Field Day, we will celebrate the new school year, fall birthdays, and bring awareness to PoCSC’s 10th anniversary. We aim to educate on how both global and personal celebrations can create immense amounts of waste, and we will offer ways you can be more sustainable within your own home or at events like music festivals, national holidays, and more. Come to Celebrate Sustainably: A Fall Field Day for a meal, birthday cake, live music, bouquet making, cyanotype printed birthday cards, birthday crowns, and more!

October 7, 2025 9:30 pm - October 8, 2025 3:00 am Silicon Valley Campus The US–India relationship stands at a crossroads balancing strategic pragmatism with shared democratic values. Recent tensions over trade, tariffs, and technology have raised questions about whether the partnership is being recalibrated or simply cooling. The 8th annual AIMA US–India Conference examines how the two countries can review their priorities and either restore normalcy or redefine the relationship for a multipolar world. Join thought leaders and decision-makers from across policy, industry, and academia where we'll explore one of the world’s most consequential relationships at a moment of reassessment. As the global landscape shifts and new alliances emerge, the conference examines how the US and India can navigate economic and strategic tensions while sustaining long-term cooperation. Key sessions will address AI governance, global conflict dynamics, and advances in human health and biotechnology. Agenda 2:30 pm – Registration 3–3:55 p.m. – Inaugural Session: US India: Normalisation or Reset? This opening session explores recent shifts in US–India ties and the roots of friction. With global alliances in flux, the discussion focuses on how leaders might reframe priorities, manage divergence, and steer the relationship toward strategic coherence. 4–4:45 p.m. – Panel 1: The Great AI Race: Who Sets the Rules? AI is rapidly transforming global power dynamics. This session delves into the emerging competition over AI standards, access to critical technologies, and regulatory influence. Can the world agree on common frameworks before divides become entrenched? 4:50–5:45 p.m. – Panel 2: War Games and Peace Plans: Geopolitics of a World on Edge In an increasingly polarised world, nations are turning to pressure and deterrence over diplomacy. This discussion looks at the fragility of global order, the risks of escalating conflict, and the role India and the US can play in rebalancing global cooperation. 5:50 – 6:35 p.m. – Panel 3: Biohacking Human Health As scientific understanding of genetics and immunology grows, so does the possibility of extending not just life span but health span. The panel examines how AI, genomics, and metabolic science are converging to personalise and revolutionise human wellbeing. 6:35 p.m. – Networking Reception An opportunity for speakers and attendees to connect informally and continue the conversation.Who should attend The conference will bring together policymakers, business leaders, entrepreneurs, academics, investors, and senior professionals to explore new strategies for US–India cooperation in a fast-changing global landscape.
