Research funding on science and innovation is becoming more and more mission-oriented in order to push topics that contribute to the solution of societal challenges, such as the ones connected to the SDGs. Therefore, the DLR-Project Management Agency kindly invites you to look at possible approaches from research management for the attainment of the SDGs.
Highly ranked experts on science, policy and innovation from Africa, Europe and Latin America will illuminate possible approaches and difficulties for research management to contribute to the achievement of the SDGs from different perspectives: multilateral advisor perspective, research perspective with a regional focus, monitoring instruments in multilateral STI cooperation and the perspective of research transfer to practice. Based on their own extensive experiences, the panellists will exchange ideas about what must be done in research management to better address the SDGs.
The session addresses the following questions:
- Are new formats of funding needed?
- How can stakeholders be involved in order to address global challenges?
- How can we understand and measure the impact of science to these challenges?
- Is a new framework needed to integrate the SDGs into the framework of impact assessment of STI policies?
