SUMMARY:Geneva Talks: Charting International Collaboration in the Digital Age
DESCRIPTION:This summer marks the 75th anniversary of the United Nations (UN) in a time of turmoil and uncertainty. After the Second World War\, countries across the World have signed the UN Charter in San Francisco in agreement to collectively work on a multilateral future. This year\, the global pandemic not only reminds us that we are all interconnected\, but also challenges us in upholding the principles that stand at the core of the UN Charter. The unprecedented crisis highlights the need for cooperation across countries\, sectors\, and generations. It is also a time of deep reflections about past\, present\, and what is ahead. Science and technology are the nexus of discussions ranging from finding a vaccine against COVID-19 to foresight for the future impact of AI and robotics on our lives and society. \nFor more information and to register\, visit the \nDedicated webpage×In the light of the UN’s 75th anniversary\, swissnex San Francisco and the Consulate General of Switzerland in partnership with ICRC\, DiploFoundation\, and ICT4peace are hosting a two-part digital conversation aimed at bridging the dialogue between Geneva\, the world’s capital for humanitarian and diplomatic affairs\, and Silicon Valley\, the epicenter of tech innovation. We will explore the challenges and opportunities that new technologies are introducing to the multilateral and humanitarian sector by bringing the technology industry into a conversation with actors from the multilateral and humanitarian sector. \nInspired by the conviction that technology is key to the future of humanity\, the Geneva Talks series explores the symbiotic relationship between technology and humanity. The current global health pandemic highlights how central technology has become to address international crisis\, and touches on the core values of the UN Charter. The future of the UN and multilateral governance\, housed in Geneva\, will be inextricably linked to technological progress sparked in Silicon Valley. \nOur experts involved\n \nDr Tereza Horejsova\nProject Development Director \nOriginally from the Czech Republic\, Dr Tereza Horejsova is currently based in Washington DC.
