Featuring esteemed speakers from the Netherlands and Japan, we will delve into pressing global issues such as health, education, technological innovation, Disaster risk reduction and water management. Together, we will highlight the indispensable role of cross-sectoral collaborations in addressing these challenges. From grassroots engagement to cutting-edge innovations, we will showcase how collaborative efforts can transcend boundaries and disciplines, laying the groundwork for a more equitable and sustainable future.
Our discussions will center on uncovering effective collaborative practices, spanning international, national, and regional scales.
