"Meeting the Moment: How Philanthropic Leaders Can Respond" is an Executive Table on the Falling Walls programme, held by invitation only. Hosted by the Dana Foundation and the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, the session tackles how science-supporting institutions are responding to mounting pressures, from declining public funding to eroding trust. Representatives of leading philanthropies will discuss what support for scientific research demands now and in the long term. The conversation will examine where philanthropic models succeed or fail and what collective leadership is needed when the stakes are this high.
