The next Geneva Trialogue will take place online on Thursday 18 March 2021. It will also mark the start of the Open Geneva Hackathon Festival, running from 18-28 March 2021, where the main Trialogue sessions will center on interactive topic-based discussions and hands-on workshop activities.

For this third edition of the Geneva Trialogue, University of Geneva is collaborating with UNITAR, the UN Institute for Training and Research, to convene thought leaders, education innovators and decision-makers from educational institutions, international organizations and the private sector.

After the “Knowledge and the SDGs” and “Scaling Education for the SDGs” Trialogues in 2016 and 2019 respectively, GTI and UNITAR organize the 2021 Geneva Trialogue under the theme “Scaling Open Innovation for the SDGs”, converging learning, initiatives and envisioned opportunities around open innovation, through which the Global Goals can be implemented and progress. The event is organized in partnership with the University Global Coalition.

The goal of this event, in the spirit of SDG 17, is to inspire new partnerships that can reach millions of learners of all ages, and help such networks tackle the Global Goals in impactful ways.
