Driving Transitions: in Society, with Society

In a world facing urgent societal challenges, the need for transformative change has never been more critical. This conference delves into the context of these pressing transitions, exploring the roles, relationships, and possible tensions between governments, businesses, citizens, and science.

The event challenges the scientific community to rethink its role—not merely as a provider of knowledge but as an active partner in shaping sustainable societal change. By questioning conventional paradigms and reimagining systems, we aim to foster collaboration and co-creation for a more sustainable and inclusive future.

Join experts, policymakers, scientists and changemakers as we drive the path toward impactful solutions together.
