The building of the 2026 GESDA Science Breakthrough Radar® was made possible through the engagement of a large number of institutions, networks and individuals. Together, this has enabled the development of the Radar as a leading tool for anticipatory science diplomacy in the service of multilateralism.

We would like to express our thanks to GESDA’s Founders and Public Contributors: the Swiss Confederation, the Republic and Canton of Geneva, and the City of Geneva.
