Forecasting the future of sustainable development: approaches to modelling and the science of prediction
OnlineThree members of the STRINGS team will be presenting at Forecasting the future of sustainable development: approaches to modelling and the science of prediction, a free three-day online workshop organised by CEST – Centro per l’Eccellenza e gli Studi Transdisciplinari on 16-18 June 2021. Across the three days, contributions will be devoted to some of the most important topics related to the methodological, practical and ethical challenges aroused by the adoption of models and forecasting within public and private sustainable decision-making processes. On Wednesday 16 June, Prof Andy Stirling and Dr Tommaso Ciarli will appear as panellists in session titled Innovation and mathematics for Sustainable Development Goals. The session aims to provide an overview on the definitions, mathematical tools and innovation practices about Sustainable Development Goals. It is designed to enhance the discussion among policymakers, data scientists and stakeholders. On Friday 18 June, Prof Joanna Chatway will be delivering they keynote talk in a session titled Policy pull or science push? Expert advice to government in the post-normal era. The aim of this session is to frame the complex relationship between scientific advice and government policymaking, framing both (i) the risks which may occur in the shift from “evidence-based
CRISP-STRINGS Workshop: Supporting rice farmers in Odisha to adapt to climate change
Bhubaneswar, IndiaSupporting rice farmers in Odisha to adapt to climate change: alternative STI pathways and their alignment to SDGs This STRINGS workshop, led by project partner CRISP, will bring together key stakeholders to discuss ways to steer Science, Technology and Innovation for better alignment with the SDGs. It will use evidence from the case study undertaken in Odisha, India, on alternative pathways to support rice farmers to adapt to changing climate. The implications of the misalignment of pathways to varied SDGs/Targets will be discussed, as well as ways of steering towards achieving better alignment.

STRINGS Project Workshop
OnlinePerspectives and Policies to steer science, technology and innovation for the SDGs Date: Monday 28 February & Tuesday 1 March 2022, 13:00 - 17:00 | Online In times of unprecedented uncertainty, there is a great need for advice on how to direct research and innovation investments towards sustainable and inclusive solutions. This STRINGS international workshop aims to: facilitate a dialogue and support constructive discussions between key stakeholders who study or make decisions at the intersection between STI and SDGs; tackle the complex relations between STI and SDGs; and ultimately help to improve prioritizations in STI in order to address the SDGs. Tailored for researchers from various backgrounds interested in the role of STI in achieving the SDGs, policymakers dealing with science and technology decisions, and users of science and technology to achieve the SDGs, the workshop will provide a forum for cutting-edge research findings to be presented and discussed, to help inform and learn from the participants’ work. It will also provide an opportunity to discuss future areas of research that can help users and policy makers to better understand how STI can be used to achieve the SDGs.
