- Establishment of the science of consciousness and its role in the universe
Technological
- Cognitive and conscious machines as co-workers
- Development of cognitive and conscious artifacts to improve quality of life
Engineering
- Evolutionary development life cycle
- Integrative, service-oriented engineering paradigm
