Making an impact in Davos and beyond

Our impact report captures the energy, authority, and outcomes that emerged from every session at Frontiers Science House at Davos 2026. Each session recording is easily accessible, ensuring that the dialogue extends well beyond the event.

Why Frontiers Science House?

In an era where we face challenges like climate instability, health threats, and disruptive technologies, credible science-based solutions have never been more vital. Yet science is often missing from the important discussions that shape global policy. Frontiers Science House closes that gap by placing transformative science at the center of the conversation. It gives scientists a genuine seat at the decision-making table along with policymakers and business leaders, while showing that open science is the simplest, most cost-effective way to accelerate innovation, economic growth, and the solutions we need for healthy lives on a healthy planet. Held annually in Davos, Frontiers Science House brings the conversation to major global forums beyond its flagship week, ensuring science has a seat at the table where decisions get made throughout the year.
