Pathways to Transformation - Research Fair on the Agenda 2030
Building Bridges Between Research, Policy and Practice
SDC and KFPE are jointly organising a 2nd Research Fair to provide an opportunity for exchange and dialogue between science, policy, and practice on the implementation of the Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development.
The Agenda 2030 promotes a unique, universal framework that includes the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), a review system, and a framework for partnerships. The SDGs will serve as a thematic reference frame. Researchers from Swiss institutions and their international partners will showcase innovative ideas and reflection on:
- Contribution of research to the achievement and implementation of the Agenda 2030;
- Adequate multi-stakeholder partnerships;
- Holistic approaches on how to deal with possible trade-offs;
- Approaches and ideas for monitoring and reporting on progress and gaps;
Ongoing research projects as well as new project ideas will be showcased at exhibition stands, with experts available for further explanation and in-depth discussion.
