From the Theory of Ice Ages to IPCC climate projections

ISC organizes a webinar as part of its Distinguished Lectures Series: “From the Theory of Ice Ages to IPCC climate projections”.  Despite improved understanding of global and regional climate change and increased model complexity, the relative contribution of different feedbacks (clouds, ocean circulation, vegetation and its coupling with water and carbon cycles, ice…) continues to…

Fossil Fuel Phase Out and Climate Futures: Bringing Together the Policy and Science of Phasing Out Fossil Fuels

The Fossil Fuel Phase Out and Climate Futures conference builds on the expanding climate science and growing policy momentum toward the need for global fossil fuel phase out. The COP26 Glasgow climate pact called for “accelerat[ing] efforts towards the phasedown of unabated coal power and phase out of inefficient fossil fuel subsidies”, and climate policy…

Sciences fondamentales et développement soutenable : que faudrait-il changer dans nos recherches ?

La journée interroge la situation des sciences fondamentales dans le contexte du développement soutenable : fertilisations croisées, nouvelle dimension de l’éthique, soutenabilité des actions de recherche. Articulation entre savoirs fondamentaux et soutenabilité, éthique scientifique à l’heure de la crise écologique, pratiques de la recherche seront discutés sous forme d’interventions et de tables rondes de scientifiques…

Fundamental Life Science meets Climate, Environment and Sustainability – Science Summit

Basic research studies that are transdisciplinary in nature, create partnerships across the life sciences, social sciences, and environmental sciences and can greatly accelerate our transition to a more sustainable world. To support such collaborations, we need the support of policymakers, science funding leaders, universities, and those in government. In 2023, HFSP aims to be the…

Fundamental Life Science meets Climate, Environment and Sustainability – International Symposium

The science communities working on the current “big ticket items” like climate change, mitigation and adaptation, energy transitions, biodiversity, food security, and other global challenges under the U.N. Agenda 2030, have been historically “disconnected” from the biological research in all its forms. Yet, scientists working in fields such as cellular and molecular biology, biochemistry, neuroscience,…

Networking or collaborations among different groups are necessary for the development of sciences.</p> <p>Our plan is to invite researchers from different field such as chemistry, biochemistry, pharmacy, botany, microbiology, engineering, medicine and public health expert. Experts will be invited for their potential…

Geospatial Information-Enabled SDGs Monitoring

ISC organizes a webinar as part of its Distinguished Lectures Series: “Geospatial Information-Enabled SDGs Monitoring”.  A systematic follow-up and review through indicators-based tracking and reporting of the progress towards 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through integration of statistical data and geo-information is a challenging task and a hot topic for both governmental agencies and scientific…

UNESCO Bootcamp for Nanotechnology Entrepreneurs

Despite enormous potential that nanotechnology can hold for developing Africa, the continent is slow in implementing it. Reports say that the African continent has the basic infrastructure but lacks focus and consolidation of efforts. This proposed bootcamp aims at consolidating efforts to raise the awareness of nanotechnology and its potential industrial applications by offering training…
