There's this call out for a UN-based event trying to help develop innovations relevant to the SDGs. As it says:
" Each year, the United Nations will host a Multi-stakeholder Forum on Science, Technology and Innovation for the SDGs (STI Forum). As part of the first annual STI Forum 2016 the UN, in collaboration with the Global Innovation Exchange, is launching a Call to Action for innovators, scientists, and entrepreneurs worldwide to submit their innovations as workable solutions for sustainable development.
The purpose of this Call to Action is to help to support these solutions by creating networks and communities among people who are developing technological and scientific innovations, those who can support or scale up such innovations, and those who need such innovations in order to implement the SDGs.
Worldwide, stakeholders are already leading the way towards the achievement of the SDGs by creating and scaling up ambitious and innovative ideas, technologies and practices. Help us to show what it takes to make sustainable development a reality for all! > > Innovations should be already delivering solutions to the SDGs, and are welcomed from diverse backgrounds, including women, youth, Indigenous peoples, and open collaborative networks."
I might submit something on behalf of OSM if nobody objects, to see if we can obtain: 1) $ (clearly), 2) better access to researcher collaborators in developing nations and 3) better advocacy with governments and potential funders. Ultimately this is related to what needs to happen in the longer term with OSM, which is a scale-up to encompass parallel series.
Deadline end of April, pretty clear application form within the website. Am asking Sydney Uni research office for any back story, in case I'm misreading the intention of the call.
