Harnessing R&D for Sustainable Development Reykjavik 11 – 13 September 2013

Focus and Outcome

The conference will present and work with the many concrete results of the EU project VISION RD4SD (visionrd4sd.eu). This includes the shared Vision itself as well as the Principles on RD4SD. A key further focus will be on the Resource Tool  – a web based instrument for science funders on how to design, launch, manage, evaluate and document R&D for SD.

On this basis the conference aims to initiate a platform for future cooperation and will discuss concrete next steps into this direction.  Thus we seek your participation to contribute to outcomes that will be valid for harnessing RD4SD in the medium and long-term.

Networking

The conference will largely be organized in open working groups to allow for direct exchange of experience among funding agents, science policy makers as well as scientists. We plan for a well-structured dialogue and hereby best use of our times.

The three days of final conference will be followed by hiking activities in the Skaftafell National Park area which you are also very welcome to join.
