The eighth annual Multi-Stakeholder Forum on Science, Technology and Innovation for the SDGs (STI Forum)'s theme is “Science, technology and innovation for accelerating the recovery from the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) and the full implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development at all levels.” The Forum will be convened by the President of ECOSOC Her Excellency Lachezara Stoeva who has appointed two co-chairs – H.E. Ms. Mathu Joyini, Ambassador and Permanent Representative of South Africa to the United Nations and H.E. Mr. Thomas Woodroffe, United Kingdom Ambassador to the UN Economic and Social Council. 

In line with recent mandates and as in previous years, the STI Forum will facilitate discussions on science, technology and innovation cooperation for accelerating the recovery from the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) and in support of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In addition to providing the mandated inputs for the High-Level Political Forum on Sustainable Development to be held from 10 to 19 July 2023, the Forum will also take a broader look at the contribution of STI to the achievement of all the SDGs in recognition of the September mid-term review of SDG progress.
