Crowd4SDG is contributing to the next edition of the Geneva Trialogue, that will take place online on Thursday 18 March 2021 under the overarching theme of “Scaling Open Innovation for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)”.
The Trialogue connects initiatives and opportunities around open innovation from three stakeholders – international organisations, academia and the private sector – in seven thematic panel discussions.
Crowd4SDG will contribute as a partner and as a session organiser with a panel on turning ideas of young innovators into actions. The session organised by the Crowd4SDG project, in which IdeaSquare (CERN) is a partner, will take place at 17:00 CET.
Crowd4SDG is a Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Action supported by the European Commission's Science with and for Society (SwafS) programme. Its goal is to research how citizen science can provide data for tracking progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals and to study how grassroots innovation can help achieve such progress.
Based on shared expertise in crowdsourcing for disaster response, the transdisciplinary Crowd4SDG consortium of six partners is researching how applications of artificial intelligence and machine learning can enhance citizen science projects involving non-traditional data sources such as social media, in order to provide effective monitoring of SDG targets and indicators by citizens.
