Co-design of the Global STI Ecosystem for SDGs; Expected Role of Science Centres/Museums

Friday 17 Nov 2017
13:10-14:25
7F Mercury

Session Concept:
With no doubt that science, technology & innovation play a crucial role to achieve the sustainable development goals (SDGs). To transform the isolated actions currently being seen around the world into an effective global scale trend, a framework in which all stakeholders can participate in and make their own contribution is needed. Especially an ecosystem that can integrate the contribution from industry which has a great impact on the global economy and development is necessary. This session will provide an opportunity for all participants to discuss how the stakeholders such like government, industry, academia and institutions of science communications (science centres/museums) can collaborate with each other to achieve the goal.
