The roundtable in The Hague will contribute to 'Innovation, Sustainability, Development: A New Manifesto’, which aims to challenge the mainstream models of science and technology for development that have become integral to government and international agency policy. Roundtables will be organized around the world in the upcoming year. The Manifesto will explore and recommend alternative approaches of linking science and innovation to development in ways that address the “3Ds”:
- Directionality – towards specific sustainability objectives
- Distribution – equitable distribution of costs, risks and benefits
- Diversity – in socio-technological systems
Aim: a more sustainable, equitable and resilient future.
