In a world faced with complex global challenges, from climate change to pandemic response, the demand – and the potential – for science to provide actionable, solutions-orientated knowledge that can inform transformative political and societal responses has never been greater.
The International Science Council, through the voice of its Regional Office in Latin America and the Caribbean, will explore these global imperatives calling for sustainability and innovation in a series of events during the Sustainability Research & Innovation (SRI) Congress held in Panama between 26-30 June 2023.
Sustainability Research & Innovation Congress 2023
The Sustainability Research & Innovation (SRI) Congress is the world’s largest transdisciplinary gathering for the global sustainability community. The third edition of the SRI Congress, SRI2023, will be hosted in Panama City by the National Secretariat of Science, Technology and Innovation of the Republic of Panama (SENACYT) and the Inter-American Institute for Global Change Research (IAI) between 26-30 June 2023, bringing this global event to the Latin American and Caribbean Region.
