SDGs : a challenge beyond COVID-19

SDGs : a challenge beyond COVID-19

Date

Tuesday, November 17^th 14:00 - 15:00 (Swiss time)

 

Presentation

The epidemic of Covid 19 is a pandemic that has upset the organization of our societies. Beyond the medical issues, many questions and challenges have emerged. The medical, economic, societal, ethical and environmental fields are concerned. This transdiciplinary approach finds a favourable framework with SDG.

Scientific research has returned to the forefront of current events and raises many expectations. Going fast without neglecting scientific rigor is not the least challenge.

To answer these often unprecedented questions, scientific research has been strongly mobilized and is beginning to provide solutions.

This research involves transdisciplinary and international collaborations and must mobilize actors from different backgrounds (academia, civil society, private sector, political decision-makers, etc.).

This session will show that the dynamism created by these collaborations is a source of hope.
