Prepare for Research in Global Crisis
The Prepared project kicked off with a meeting you can view!
Covid 19 was not the last global crisis in the early 21st century. The Ukraine war has been raging since 24 February 2022 with world-wide impact. Research is highly difficult during global crisis but at the same time essential, as the Covid pandemic has shown. The European Commission therefore decided to fund the PREPARED project. The aim of the project is to develop an ethics and integrity framework for global crises.
50 experts and stakeholders from around the world met at the UN University in Bonn to kick off the PREPARED project from 27-29 Sep 2022.
SAGE MethodSpace Zoomed into the meeting to hear selected delegates provide statements on the difficulties of research during global crises and suggestions on how stakeholders can work together better in the future. Questions were fielded from online participants as well as the room at the UN University.
