Aligning Science, Society and Policy for the Grand Challenges of our Time
Nov 17, 2020 — All day
On Tuesday, November 17, 2020, at 4:30 PM, the ISSP organised the panel Aligning Science, Society and Policy for the Grand Challenges of our Time, as a part of the Canadian Science Policy Conference 2020.
Meeting the grand challenges of our time – from climate change to COVID-19 – compels Canada to bridge and align science, society and policy imperatives amid polarization, mistrust and misinformation.
This panel convenes leading scholars at uOttawa pioneering cutting-edge approaches to do just that in energy and climate, artificial intelligence, public health and inclusive innovation. How are they mobilizing knowledge to find trusted and effective solutions? What can be applied to other challenges? How can we build on this to secure Canada’s prosperity, environmental resilience, health and social equity? Public, private and Indigenous leaders will share their perspectives on the issues.
