UNGA76 Science Summit

The Science Summit during UNGA79 is a hybrid event offering a dynamic blend of online and in-person sessions in the vibrant setting of New York City.Building on the success of last year’s summit, which featured an impressive array of 400 sessions, 1,700 speakers, and attracted 12,000 attendees.This year’s event promises to be even more engaging and impactful coinciding with the Summit of the Future which aims at creating the conditions in which implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development can more readily be achieved.Scheduled to take place over three weeks, from September 10th to September 27th, 2024, the Summit will offer a comprehensive program designed to facilitate meaningful scientific collaboration, and knowledge sharing across diverse scientific disciplines and sectors.

Science Summit at UNGA

ISC will organise the ScienceSummit@UNGA76 around the 76th United Nations General Assembly (UNGA76)

UNGA76 Science Summit14 September - 7 October 2021ISC will organise the second edition of the UNGA76 Science Summit around the 76th United Nations General Assembly (UNGA76) in September 2021. The objective of the virtual meeting will be to raise awareness of the role and contribution of science to the attainment of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. It will demonstrate initiatives that provide models for global science mechanisms and activities in support of the SDGs, particularly in science infrastructure and capacity building. Science is and will enable sustainable economic, environmental, and societal development. Science is more than a funding prioritisation exercise: science is impacting all areas of policy-making and is playing a more critical role in how policy objectives are achieved and the consequent benefit to people everywhere, including responses to global challenges.Engagement with policy leadership is more important than ever: UNGA76 is a unique forum for science to demonstrate how policy and political leadership can benefit from innovation. Central to this is the role of nonstate actors and the multilateral fora, which increasingly determine how priorities are set. Science needs to be part of this dialogue and inform outputs through thought leadership, evidence, insights, analysis, and innovation.We can only tackle the greatest challenges that we face and will face over coming decades – such as climate change, pandemics and biodiversity loss – through transparent, open and agile research collaboration. We must bring the widest possible range of resources, expertise and perspectives to bear on solutions which will benefit people across the globe.<a href="https://www.g7uk.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/G7-2021-Research-Compact-PDF-356KB-2-pages-1.pdf" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">G7 Research Compact, Cornwall, June 2021</a>The UNGA76 Science Summit will examine the enabling policy, regulatory and financial environment needed to establish and sustain the science mechanisms and capscities required to genuinely support global scientific collaboration between continents, across nations and over many science themes.Achieving the SDGs targets requires alignment at the global level on policy and regulation that impact science and technology. Alignment is necessary to ensure access to date and the resulting innovation. It is also required to enable the rapid sharing of data, the fair use of data and related benefit sharing for all, including developing nations.Title		ISC UNGA76 Science SummitDates		14 September - 7 October 2021Format	Predominantly online with some physical sessions taking place in New York CityStructure	<a href="https://unga76sciencesummit.sched.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">The Draft Programme is available here.</a> For further information, please contact:Declan KIRRANEdeclan.kirrane@iscintelligence.com+32 494 34 6030
