Debate on "Picture a Scientist"

The conference addresses how diverse inequalities can be understood, challenged and engaged in a post-COVID-19 light. From various perspectives, six parallel sessions probe this issue and its impact on the 2030 agenda. Approaching this from diverse perspectives, six commentators will bring the main conclusions and key points into a joint debate following these sessions. Such a panel debate will revolve around two questions:What are the three most important recommendations for policy development and reform addressing global post-COVID-19 inequalities?Drawing on the parallel sessions, which critical re-thinking and re-formulation of the SDGs needs to be undertaken in order to understand and tackle changing forms of inequality post-COVID-19?

In this action orientated session we invite participants to learn about healthcare-related carbon emissions and join us in developing a research and advocacy agenda to decarbonise the Norwegian healthcare system.

Tiden fram til 2030 er knapp. Bærekraftsmålene fordrer nye og styrkede partnerskap for å nå målene - både globalt, nasjonalt og lokalt. Hvordan kan akademia og arbeidslivet dra mer nytte av hverandre?Denne våren kommer Regjeringen med en nasjonal handlingsplan for bærekraftsmålene, og en stortingsmelding om arbeidsrelevans i høyere utdanning. Kan det økte fokuset på bærekraft og arbeidsrelevans hos norske universiteter og høyskoler sees i sammenheng?
UN Global Compact, FNs organisasjon for bærekraftig næringsliv og Universitetet i Bergen, spør hva som skal til for at flere studenter får tilgang til arbeidslivet under studiene, og at arbeidslivet får tilgang på flere studenter som kan utfordre de i en mer bærekraftig retning?
