Virtual meeting
Under the theme ‘Building Forward Better’, CSPC 2021 decodes the world post COVID-19 era and the crucial role of science and innovation in policymaking and rebuilding society on all fronts: social fabric, economic development, healthcare, climate, and other areas in Canada.
More than ever, the world wicked problems including climate change, global inequalities, and the 2030 sustainable development goals, require experts to work together effectively across disciplines, geopolitical borders, and silos. What are transdisciplinary skill sets, and how do we foster them in our research community? How do we provide researchers with the right links and opportunities? How can we enable and empower the next generation of researchers to work across disciplines?
Building on the institute’s expertise in international transdisciplinary research, IIASA proposed a session under the theme of Science and International Affairs and Security. This panel of experts brings together experts working across sectors towards transdisciplinary research. They will discuss experiences, challenges and propose solutions to support transdisciplinary research within academia.
