CSS parallel sessions intend to demonstrate how digital transformation can contribute to the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The objective of these sessions was not to debate current days but to contribute to understanding better how a digital transformation will support our quality of life, for example enhancing the main unmet needs that should drive the science agenda in the next ten years.
The third plenary session “Tech Panel” started with the welcome speech by P3’s moderator João Quintas, Project Manager and Researcher at Instituto Pedro Nunes (IPN). Like the moderators in the previous CSS sessions, João Quintas followed the same approach by introducing the participants with the vision of the CSS, ecosystem and goals to inspire innovative approaches, foster new partnerships and deliver better value out of the Summit.
