Chapter 12: Research Track for Evidence-Based Decision-Making
12.1 Introduction and Rationale
12.1.1 The Central Role of Research
NEOM’s success demands more than just HPC expansions or quantum pilot deployments. Careful research—merging local observations, HPC-driven data analytics, philanthropic sponsor expectations, and NWG governance—enables evidence-based policy decisions, ensures HPC-based solutions remain scientifically grounded, and keeps philanthropic sponsors confident about ROI (return on investment) or impact. The Research Track thus:
Synthesizes HPC logs, quantum subroutines, GRIx risk signals, and local feedback into cohesive studies.
Generates peer-reviewed articles, Nexus Reports, or policy briefs that shape NWG on-chain proposals.
Aligns HPC expansions or philanthropic sponsor strategies with local realities, bridging cultural norms and advanced computing.
12.1.2 Linking Research to RRI and ESG
Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) requires open, inclusive, and anticipatory analysis. The Research Track ensures HPC expansions or quantum experiments:
Anticipate social, ecological, and cultural impacts, captured in HPC scenario modeling and local field data.
Reflect philanthropic sponsor’s ESG priorities: HPC-based water or carbon footprints, NWG health metrics, or parametric insurance performance.
Disseminate HPC-based knowledge in accessible, peer-reviewed or open reports, fueling global synergy.
12.2 Scope of the Research Track
12.2.1 Multi-Faceted Research Themes
WEFH Integration: HPC scenario modeling for water usage, renewable energy microgrids, advanced agriculture, local health interventions—researchers validate HPC outputs, refine AI/ML assumptions, shape philanthropic sponsor actions.
Quantum Pilot Assessment: HPC-driven or quantum-driven optimization logs, error rates, capacity constraints—researchers analyze real-world feasibility of quantum expansions for NEOM’s advanced industries.
IoT Data Quality: HPC-based anomaly detection or AI-based data cleansing. Field researchers examine sensor reliability, philanthropic sponsor ROI triggers, NWG user experiences.
12.2.2 Partnerships and Collaborations
Academic Institutions
Local Universities: HPC labs or research institutes in NEOM join the Accelerator cycles. The Research Track fosters HPC or quantum co-development, bridging philanthropic sponsor resources with student or faculty expertise.
Global Consortia: HPC or AI/ML labs from around the world, philanthropic sponsor alliances (major foundations, philanthropic networks) exchange HPC logs or quantum pilot codes, fueling multi-regional synergy and peer-reviewed publications.
NWG Integration
NWG leads co-define HPC-based research priorities: which farmland or microgrid HPC scenario to run, which philanthropic sponsor thresholds matter most (ESG water usage, carbon offsets, health improvements).
Local knowledge merges with HPC or quantum findings to ensure RRI alignment—no HPC expansions proceed without in-depth local validation.
