- Promoting global scientific collaboration and knowledge exchange:
Discuss ways to advance global scientific collaboration, leveraging opportunities such as the International Decade of Sciences for Sustainable Development (IDSSD, 2024-2033) and the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology (2025). Emphasize the importance of inclusive scientific engagement to tackle global challenges and support sustainable development, with a focus on participation from traditionally underrepresented regions. - Showcasing inclusive success stories:
Present success stories and case studies that illustrate ICTP's commitment to inclusivity and diversity in scientific research. Demonstrate how these initiatives promote gender equality, empower scientists from developing countries, and contribute to building a more diverse global scientific community. - Strengthening the science-policy interface based on enhanced trust in science:
Discuss the role of the science-policy interface in informing policy decisions at the UN, and how research and innovations are translated into actionable policies that address global challenges and contribute to the achievement of the SDGs.
