In response to this growing need, the UN Interagency Task Team (UN-IATT) will host a series of three virtual training sessions focused on STI policy, policy instruments, and monitoring and evaluation for STI policy learning. The training sessions are designed for STI officials, policy analysts, and experts as well as broader STI policy stakeholders working in academia, civil society and the private sector.
海角社区-MERIT's Mindel van de Laar, Tommaso Ciarli and Carlo Pietrobelli are all involved as instructors in this series, and Dr. van de Laar is part of the core team in the IATT WS6 working group.
The training aims to enhance participants' understanding of key aspects of STI policy-making. Drawing on the diverse expertise of participating UN agencies, the training will highlight how STI policies contribute to advancing the SDGs.
The sessions aim at engaging participants in interactive discussions and practical reflection on existing approaches, case studies and national experiences in establishing and managing STI in the context of the SDGs. Interactive tools, such as Mentimeter will be used during the sessions.
