	Born in England in 1952, John Dupré is a philosopher of science, specialising in the philosophy of biology, and a naturalistic metaphysician. He received his PhD from Cambridge in 1981, also spending two years on a Harkness Fellowship as a visiting PhD student at Princeton and Stanford. He taught at Stanford University from 1982-1996, since when he has been at the University of Exeter. At Exeter he restarted the philosophy programme that had been closed in the 1980s, and in 2002 became the founding Director of Egenis, the ESRC Centre for Genomics in Society, now the Centre for the Study of Life Sciences. Egenis is now internationally known as a centre for interdisciplinary research on the life sciences. Dupré’s 1993 book, The Disorder of Things: Metaphysical Foundations of the Disunity of Science, provided an influential critique of the essentialism, reductionism and determinism then still prevalent in post-positivist philosophy of science. In Human Nature and the Limits of Science (2001), he developed a detailed critique of reductive theories of human nature, especially as presented by Evolutionary Psychology. Since the mid-2000s, his work has focused on developing a radically processual account of the life sciences, first articulated in his Spinoza Lectures at the University of Amsterdam in 2006, and most recently extended to an interpretation of the nature of the human in his Gifford Lectures in Edinburgh in 2023. He has published numerous articles and books on these topics, and on evolution, genomics, values in science, race and gender, and a range of related issues in the philosophy of biology. Dupré was President of the Philosophy of Science Association for 2000-2002. He is a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and an International Honorary Member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. He was elected to the American Philosophical Society in 2023.

	Jennifer Eberhardt is Morris M. Doyle Centennial Professor of Public Policy, William R. Kimball Professor at the Graduate School of Business, Professor of Psychology and by courtesy, of Law, and Co-Director of SPARQ (Social Psychological Answers to Real-World Questions) at Stanford University. She earned her Ph.D. from Harvard University in 1993. Jennifer Eberhardt investigates the consequences of the psychological association between race and crime. Through interdisciplinary collaborations and a wide-ranging array of methods—from laboratory studies to novel field experiments—Dr. Eberhardt has revealed the startling, and often dispiriting, extent to which racial imagery and judgments suffuse our culture and society, and in particular shape actions and outcomes within the domain of criminal justice. For example, her work on looking “deathworthy” shows that Black defendants with more stereotypically Black faces are more than twice as likely to be on death row as other Black defendants, controlling for facial attractiveness and relevant features of the crime. She is the author of Biased: Uncovering the hidden prejudice that shapes what we see, think, and do (2020). Jennifer Eberhardt was elected a member of the American Philosophical Society in 2023.

	Kathryn Edin is the William Church Osborne Professor of Sociology and Public Affairs at Princeton University, where she serves as the Director of the Center on Research and Child Wellbeing. Edin’s research has taken on key mysteries about poverty that have not been fully answered by prior research: How do single mothers possibly survive on welfare? Why don’t more go to work? Why do they end up as single mothers in the first place? Where are the fathers and why do they disengage from their children’s lives? How have the lives of the single mothers changed as a result of welfare reform? The hallmark of her research is her direct, in-depth observations of the lives of low-income women, men, and children. After a career of studying some of America’s most disadvantaged people, she has now turned her attention to America’s most disadvantaged places, blending big data analysis, ethnography, and historical analysis to uncover the legacies of poverty in America. She is the author of 9 books, including the forthcoming The Injustice of Place: Uncovering the legacies of Poverty in America, co-authored with H. Luke Shaefer and Timothy Nelson, and $2 a Day: Living on Virtually Nothing in America, co-authored with H. Luke Shaefer. It was included in The New York Times 100 Notable Books of 2015, cited as "essential reporting about the rise in destitute families."

	Naomi Ellemers is a social and organizational psychologist, working as a Distinguished University Professor at the University of Utrecht in the Netherlands, and Honorary Professor at the University of Queensland, Australia. For eight years (2015-2023), she was member of the external supervisory board of PwC in the Netherlands, as an expert on behavior and organizational culture change. Her research connects psychophysiological indicators of group processes and intergroup relations to practical issues in work teams and organizations. She developed the Behavioral Regulation Theory, to explain how group-level moral norms impact on the cognitions, emotions, and behavioral choices of individuals. Her work on the psychology of morality offers a new perspective on the impact of organizational cultures on work behavior (relating to diversity and inclusion, and workplace integrity) and on organizational and citizen compliance with legal guidelines. She has developed long-standing research collaborations with practitioners, policy makers and regulators to develop and test effective interventions, addressing a broad range of issues relating to diversity and social safety, work ethics and socially responsible behavior in organizations. She is co-founder of Athena’s Angels: Four women who work towards equal opportunities for women in science (https://www.athenasangels.nl/nl/), and of the NIM: The Netherlands Inclusiveness Monitor for organizations (https://nederlandseinclusiviteitsmonitor.nl/) She is chair of the board of the SCOOP research consortium, initiated to develop a longstanding multi-site, multi-disciplinary research program on sustainable cooperation for a resilient society. She also chaired the committee that was invited by the Ministry of Education to advise about the national policy on Social Safety in Academia. The relevance and contribution of her work has been recognized with multiple substantial grants and honors. These include an Honorary Doctorate from UC Louvain in Belgium, as well as her election as a member of the Netherlands Royal Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW), the British Academy (FBA), the Academia Europaea (MAE), and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (AAAS).

	Monika Fludernik is Professor of English Literature at the University of Frei-burg/Germany (Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg im Breisgau). She is an Austrian citizen. Fludernik studied English, Indo-European Philology, History and Mathematics at the University of Graz. She was a student of F. K. Stanzel the narratologist, who supervised her doctoral dissertation on "Narrators' and Characters' Voices in James Joyce's Ulysses" (1982). From 1984 to 1993, she was assistant professor in the De-partment of English and American Studies at the University of Vienna. Her habilitation book dealt with free indirect discourse and speech and thought representation in Eng-lish literature and conversational narratives, later published as The Fictions of Lan-guage and the Languages of Fiction (1993). Fludernik then moved to Freiburg with a Humboldt Fellowship and was appointed Professor of English Literature in Freiburg in 1994. Fludernik is one of the leading narratologists world-wide. Her work is particularly noteworthy for its diachronic range (she covers English-language narrative from the Middle Ages to postcolonial literature), its interdisciplinarity (she was one of the first narratologists to focus on cognitive issues) and its linguistic methodology (see her analyses of conversational narratives and her studies of tense and syntax in narrative texts as well as her work on second-person narrative and we narration). Fludernik teaches English literature of all periods and genres. She has established herself not only as a narratologist but has also produced significant research in the areas of post-colonial studies, eighteenth-century aesthetics and law-and-literature studies. Fludernik is the author of several monographs and over thirty edited volumes and special journal issues. She is particularly well-known for her seminal Towards a 'Nat-ural' Narratology (1996), which won the Perkins Prize of the Narrative Society, and her recent Metaphors of Confinement: The Prison in Fact, Fiction and Fantasy (2019). Among her edited volumes, the following have been particularly well received: Hy-bridity and Postcolonialism (1998); Diaspora and Multiculturalism (2003); In the Grip of the Law (with Greta Olson, 2004); Postclassical Narratology (with Jan Alber, 2010); Beyond Cognitive Metaphor Theory (2011); Idleness, Indolence and Leisure in British Literature (with Miriam Nandi, 2014); Narrative Factuality: A Handbook (with Marie-Laure Ryan, 2019); and Being Untruthful: Lying, Fiction, and the Non-Factual (2021). Fludernik has been the director of a Collaborative Research Cluster (Sonder-forschungsbereich) on identities and alterities (SFB 541), of a graduate school on Factual and Fictional Narration (GRK 1767), and was a board member of the CRC/SFB 1015 that focused on the study of otium (Muße). She is currently directing a project on "Diachronic Narratology", funded by the German Research Foundation's Reinhart-Koselleck grant programme. From 1997-2006 Fludernik was the president of IALS (International Association of Literary Semantics). She has received several priz-es and fellowships and is a member of both the Austrian Academy of Sciences as well as the Academia Europaea.

	Lene Vestergaard Hau is the Mallinckrodt Professor of Physics and of Applied Physics and is the Area Chair for Applied Physics at Harvard University. Prior to joining the Harvard faculty in 1999, she was a senior scientist at the Rowland Institute for Science in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and holds a Ph.D. in Physics from University of Aarhus, Denmark. Hau led a team who succeeded in slowing a pulse of light to 15 miles per hour and also brought light to a stop. They took matters further as they stopped and extinguished a light pulse in one part of space, and subsequently revived it in a different location. In the process, the light pulse is converted to a perfect matter copy that can be stored, sculpted, and then turned back to light. These results represent the ultimate quantum control of light and matter. Hau’s team also utilized the great spatial compression of ultra-slow light pulses to generate quantum shock waves in Bose-Einstein condensates thereby opening up a new field for studies of the rich and dramatic nonlinear dynamics of these superfluid, cold atomic systems. Hau has contributed to a wide variety of research fields. Her Ph.D. work was in theoretical condensed matter physics and she later shifted her attention to experimental and theoretical optical and atomic physics. Her research has included studies of ultra-cold atoms and superfluid Bose-Einstein condensates, as well as channeling of high-energy electrons, protons, and positrons in single crystals with experiments at CERN and Brookhaven National Laboratory. Her group has manipulated atomic matter waves with nanoscale structures, and performed protein studies at the single molecule level with biological nanopores. She is a 2001 MacArthur Fellow, and was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, and the Royal Danish Academy of Sciences and Letters. She is a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and of the American Physical Society. Hau is also the recipient of numerous awards, including Harvard University’s Ledlie Prize, the Ole Roemer Medal, awarded by the University of Copenhagen, and the Richtmyer Memorial Lecture Award awarded by the American Association of Physics Teachers. In 2010, she was named "World Dane," and in 2012 "Thomson Reuters (Clarivate) Citation Laureate in Physics." In 2018 she was honored with the Lise Meitner Distinguished Lecture and Medal, sponsored by The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences through its Nobel Committee for Physics, and in 2019 with the Lars Onsager Lecture and Medal by the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, and the Dirac Medal and Lecture by the University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia, and the Australian Institute of Physics. Lene Hau’s research is described on RadioLab’s "Master of the Universe."

	Vladimír Kučera was born in Prague, Czechoslovakia in 1943. He received the graduate degree summa cum laude in electrical engineering from Czech Technical University, Prague, in 1966 and the CSc. and DrSc. research degrees in engineering cybernetics from the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences, Prague, in 1970 and 1979, respectively. During 1967-2017 he was a Research Scientist at the Institute of Information Theory and Automation, one of the research institutes of the Academy of Sciences in Prague. He held various research and managerial positions, including Vice-Director (1986-1990) and Director (1990-1998) of the Institute. Since 2018, he has been a Scientist Emeritus at the Academy of Sciences. Starting in 1992, he taught graduate courses at the Czech Technical University in Prague and was appointed Professor of Engineering Cybernetics in 1996. During 1999-2000, he assumed the position of Head of the Control Engineering Department; in 2000 he was elected Dean of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering for the period 2000-2006; and during 2007-2015, he was the Director of the Masaryk Institute of Advanced Studies. In 2015, he was appointed Distinguished Researcher and Vice-Director of the Czech Institute of Informatics, Robotics and Cybernetics, the newly established research institute at the Czech Technical University in Prague. Kučera held visiting positions at the National Research Council, Ottawa, Canada in 1970-1971; the University of Florida, Gainesville, the USA in 1977; Ecole Nationale Supérieure de Mécanique, Nantes, France in 1981-1982; Australian National University, Canberra, Australia in 1984; Uppsala Universitet, Sweden in 1989; Centro de Investigación y de Estudios Avanzados del IPN, Mexico City in 1991; ETH Zürich, Switzerland in 1992; the University of Newcastle, Australia in 1993; Politecnico di Milano, Italy in 1995 as well as many short visiting appointments. He was a Nippon Steel Professor at the Chair of Intelligent Control at the Tokyo Institute of Technology, Japan, in 1994. The research interests of Kučera include the theory of systems and automatic control. He contributed to the theory of matrix Riccati equations by classifying the set of all nonnegative definite steady-state solutions, showing that the set is a distributive lattice, and establishing necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of such solutions in terms of stabilizability and detectability; these results are fundamental for the design of linear-quadratic optimal control systems. He pioneered the use of polynomial diophantine equations in the synthesis of control systems; the polynomial equation approach found followers worldwide and inspired the development of efficient computational algorithms for polynomials and polynomial matrices. The best-known result of Kučera is the parameterization of all controllers that stabilize a given system, known as the Youla-Kučera parameterization. It was obtained independently and at about the same time by Dante C. Youla and Kučera. The parameterization formula is due to Kučera, whereas the use of the parameter in H2 optimal control is due to Youla. The parameterization result launched an entirely new area of research with applications in optimal and robust control. Recently, Kučera has resolved a long-standing open problem of control theory, the decoupling of linear systems by static-state feedback. He discovered the canonical form and the complete invariant of stable linear systems with respect to the group of stability-preserving system transformations and demonstrated the use of this result in control system design. During his research career, he had the pleasure of working with more than 80 researchers from 20 countries worldwide. Kučera is the author of four books: Algebraic Theory of Discrete Linear Control (in Czech) (Academia, Prague 1978), Discrete Linear Control: The Polynomial Equation Approach (Wiley, Chichester 1979), Analysis and Design of Discrete Linear Control Systems (Prentice-Hall, London 1991), and Polynomial Methods for Control Systems Design, edited with M. J. Grimble (Springer, London 1996). In addition, he published over 400 research papers. Kučera serves on the editorial boards of Int. J. Robust and Nonlinear Control, and Bull. Polish Acad. Sciences. He was Editor-in-Chief of Kybernetika (1990-1998), an Associate Editor of Automatica (1987-1996), and a member of the editorial boards of Syst. Control Letters (1987-1994), Int. J. Control (1990-1999), Int. J. Systems Science (1986-1999), and J. Math. Systems, Estimation and Control (1991-1998). He is a Life Advisor and Fellow (he was President 2002-2005) of the International Federation of Automatic Control (IFAC), Life Fellow of IEEE (the first Fellow ever in the Czech Republic/Czechoslovakia in 1996), and was a member of the IEEE Control Systems Society Board of Governors (1996-1998). He is a founding member and Fellow of the Engineering Academy of the Czech Republic (he was Vice-President from 1999 to 2006) and past Chairman of the Czech Committee for Automatic Control (1993-2002). Kučera was the recipient of many prizes including the Prize of the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences in 1973, the Kybernetika Best Paper Award in 1976, the National Prize of the Czech Republic in 1989 for his contributions to the theory and practice of automatic control, the Automatica Prize Paper Award in 1990 for the paper Fundamental Theorem of State Feedback for Singular Systems, Hlávka Foundation Prize in 1992, Outstanding Service Award from IFAC in 1996, Medal of the Ministry of Education of the Czech Republic in 2000, Felber Gold Medal of the Czech Technical University in Prague, and in 2006 he was appointed Chevalier dans l’ordre des Palmes Académiques, a national order of France for distinguished academics. He is an Honorary Professor at the Northeastern University, Shenyang, China (1996) and received Doctor honoris causa degrees from Université Paul Sabatier, Toulouse (2003), and Université Henri Poincaré, Nancy (2005). He is the 2021 laureate of the National Prize Česká hlava (Czech Mind), the most prestigious Czech award for science and research that scientists in the Czech Republic can achieve.
