UCL Masterclasses: Science and Engineering for Social Change – Topic: Solving the Complex Challenges Puzzle – a Multi-Disciplinary Perspective
Location: Online
Event Information: * Deadline: Sunday 21 January, 11:59pm*. We often hear that modern societies are currently facing complex global challenges, which trespass boarders and are not easy to solve or even tackle. But what are the most pressing problems? How do we identify them and whose job is it to try to solve them? In this Masterclass, we will explore how science and engineering can help address these challenges when combined with the social sciences and public policy. We will bring in the Sustainable Development Goals framework of the United Nations and explore the topic from an interactive and multidisciplinary perspective. Tackling complex issues from multiple angles ensures that we can produce technologically-sound sustainable solutions that are equitable and can be implemented on a large scale in society.
This event is suitable for: Year 12.
