INGSA Week of Dialogue:Global High Level Panel
INCLUDING: An introductory message from the Governor General of Canada, Her Excellency the Right Honourable Julie Payette
COVID-19 has been an unprecedented test to the role and functionality of science advice and science diplomacy mechanisms around the world. The role of scientists, science advisors and diplomats has never before been placed under such intense scrutiny. It is vital that we ensure the lessons of the pandemic are learned so that more resilient, flexible and informed systems can emerge in its wake.
INGSA is proud to be able to convene a global panel of experts working at the science, society and policy interfaces for a high-level panel that will frame the discussion for the Global Week of Dialogue.
“What was done right and what has gone wrong in pandemic responses to date?”
The High-Level Panel will address some of the main challenges the global system of science and governance have faced, to begin the discussions that will be elaborated on in each of the Regional Discussion Panels taking place over the course of the week. Featuring:
