Scope
While the world faces many social issues such as environmental pollution, education and well-being for all, conflicts and war, global warming, and depletion of energy resources, combined initiatives to tackle these issues are not often undertaken. Information technology has both the power to connect various social groups to resolve these issues, as well as to help drive solutions. Welcome to discuss how we all can make a difference.
NTNU organizes this seminar connected to the ÈU-project «SOCRATIC» in Horizon 2020. The main goal of the project is to provide citizens and organizations a collaborative space where they can identify innovative solutions to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals set by the UN.
