Science and Technology for Humanitarian Action Challenges
Event details
| Date | 23.11.2022 |
| Category | Conferences - Seminars |
The 3rd call of the HAC programme was launched on 17 October 2022 with a deadline for applications on 18 January 2023 (17:00 CEST)
The challenges faced by humanitarian organizations in general and by the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) in particular are immense. In 2022, according to UNHCR, more than 100 million people were displaced because of conflict and insecurity, a number not reached since WWII. Extreme climate events, such as floods, storms and droughts, are on the rise, thereby increasing the vulnerability of people already suffering from conflict1. The COVID19 pandemic further jeopardized the hard-fought gains in access to healthcare and poverty reduction of the past decades.
The goal of the Science and Technology for Humanitarian Action Challenges is to support project-based research between EPFL researchers, ETH Zurich researchers, and the ICRC to develop effective solutions for a greater impact of humanitarian action. To answer all your questions and help in your submission process, a webinar is organized by ETHZ.
Date: Wednesday 23 November 2022
Time: 12.30 – 13.15 (CEST)
Location: Online session via Zoom
