Join us for STRINGS' official side event to the UN STI Forum 2021. We’ll be sharing findings and recommendations from our research into how science, technology and innovation (STI) can be better aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and exchanging perspectives on how these can be applied to harness the power of STI for SDGs in the Decade of Action. Event description Billions of dollars are spent every year on STI but our understanding of how this supports the SDGs is limited. The complex relationships between SDGs and the actors involved make it difficult to assess the contribution STI can make. To accelerate progress and address inequalities in how STI is prioritised, we must unpack this complexity, improve understanding of plural pathways, and steer STI investments to better address the SDGs. The STRINGS project is producing an unprecedented mapping of how different areas of STI relate to SDGs, and their complex interlinkages. Using this mapping, we provide evidence and tools to identify pathways to better align STI and the SDGs. Our results will improve understanding of how STI supports the SDGs and provide decision makers and STI users with evidence and tools to steer research and innovation towards […]
