Framework
At a time when the silos of International Geneva are struggling greatly to collaborate cross-functionally and when sources of impact financing are looking for bold projects that translate into impact measurement in the field, International Geneva is seeking the emergence of systemic solutions.
This workshop will explore the power of large-scale citizen science alliances to create lasting bridges between all the fields of ecology, technology, solidarity and humanitarian action that characterize the landscape of International Geneva and that have the capacity to mobilize research, diplomacy, governance and finance. It is intended primarily for senior decision-makers from research laboratories, leaders of International Geneva, Ambassadors to the UN, as well as Geneva authorities and institutional investors. Family offices and philanthropists seeking projects of sufficient scale to match the volumes they need to commit are also among the audiences behind this workshop.
By combining concrete experiences in Participatory Science with impact finance mechanisms, in particular the real effects of resilience and capacity building that these projects manage to achieve, the workshop will show how these approaches make it possible to overcome compartmentalization, anchor innovation in civil society and generate projects of critical size, while positioning themselves at the level of global challenges and available financial capacities.
Objective: to build a shared framework for action where citizen science becomes a catalyst for cross-functional cooperation and a pool of massive projects, ready to receive financing of several hundred million.
Discussions between the stakeholders of this meeting will take place both in the form of a Round Table between the speakers, and in subgroup debates involving the Assembly audience.
This annual sharing space enables actors in the field to pool practices, challenges, solutions, ideas and needs
