Description
Understanding the core role of science, technology and innovation for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals and taking into account Ukrainian scientific and innovative potential and importance of the regional and international cooperation for sustainable post-COVID recovery, the Government of Ukraine has applied to the next phase of the Global Pilot Programme for the STI for SDGs Roadmap in August 2020.
In March 2021, Ukraine has joined the Global Pilot Programme and requested support of the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission and the United Nations Industrial Development Organization.
The STI for SDGs Roadmap is seen as a key policy-making instrument to move toward comprehensive and effective accomplishment of Sustainable Development Goals in Ukraine. Development of the STI for SDGs Roadmap, based on the successful experience of the implementation of the JRC Smart Specialisation methodology in Ukrainian regions and UNIDO experience of green industrial transformation, requires development of the National Smart Specialisation Strategy for SDGs and identification of the scientific, technological and innovative potential, that could be mobilized to move towards the achievement of SDGSs, in the form of the comprehensive integrated policy set complimenting to the existing strategic framework.
This initial event aimed to present the Science, Technology and Innovation (STI) for Sustainable Development Goals Roadmaps approach, promote the discussion about possible institutional arrangements, governance, and help pave the way to identify next development steps of the STI for SDGs Roadmap in Ukraine by proving the adequate support.
