Presentation of UNESCO Science Report 2021

04. 02. 2022

Every five years, the UNESCO Science Report provides an update of global trends in science governance. Written by 70 authors from 52 countries around the world, the latest edition in the series concludes that development priorities have aligned over the past five years.

Today, four out of five countries in the world still invest less than 1% of GDP in R&D. The UNESCO Science Report calls for a substantial increase in investment in science to green their development model and conjugate growing crises, such as climate change, biodiversity loss and health pandemics. Since the report spans the period from 2016 to early 2021, its coverage tracks the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on global research and innovation.

Join us at this online event to discuss key trends in science and innovation policy around the world, in general, and in the European Union, in particular.

Please note that it is not necessary to register for this event, which will be live-streamed.

Presentation will be streaming here.
