Climate change, health, mass migration, conflict and gender inequality are five strongly interrelated crises which demand understanding, awareness and a broad, global approach to the design and implementation of solutions. Technology centres and research institutions in Europe and Africa are beginning to recognise that through their scientific and technical investigations they have a social responsibility to work in close collaboration and cooperation with society as a whole.
In this context, the CASSANDRA bi-annual conference, organized by our partner EURECAT, intends to propose scientific, technological and socio-political answers to the effects of these crises, in Africa and the Mediterranean.
The event is online and split in different panels. InnWater will be presented in Panel 7 dedicated to « Data to Action », on 14th November 2023.
Panel 7 : Data to action – knowledge to effect
Data to Action is a process whereby raw data is collected and analysed to inform decision-making and actionable tasks by communities at a local, sub-national, national and supranational level. The process involves identifying patterns or trends, making decisions and subsequently acting based on the proven results of monitoring and investigation. There exist many scientific and technological solutions to identified problems. But how can data be converted into action and how can knowledge be converted into tangible, in situ improvement?
The panel will demonstrate the latest technological and scientific advances which can provide solutions and progress regarding the pathway of Climate Change and Health, Migration, Conflict and Gender Inequality, both separately and as a whole.
