Two international initiatives aimed at advancing science and innovation education were announced by Shanghai University, in collaboration with international partners, marking a step forward in preparing the next generation for an AI-driven future.
The announcements came during an international conference on empowering the next generation for sustainable development, which was jointly organized by Shanghai University and the United Nations Institute for Training and Research New York Office (UNITAR-NYO) at UN headquarters in New York earlier this month, coinciding with the UN's 80th anniversary celebrations.
The first initiative introduces the world's first international think tank for science and innovation education, a collaborative platform that bridges regional gaps in youth-focused scientific education. This institution, jointly proposed by Shanghai University and UN agencies, aims to address the current void in theoretical and practical research regarding youth science and innovation education.
