UNSSC: SD Knowledge Highlights

[:en]

Greetings from the Staff College and its Knowledge Centre for Sustainable Development in Bonn! We are pleased to provide you with a few Sustainable Development (SD) Highlights, including information about our upcoming courses and free-of-charge offerings.

As we all come to the end of another year, we imagine that like us, you may be starting to think about your goals and learning aspirations for 2018. Why not get the momentum going with some free online learning this month?

If you have just an hour to spare, join our upcoming webinar with the simpleshow foundation, which will explain how you can create entertaining explainer videos about a sustainable development topic of your choice, through our Volunteer Initiative. Click here to register for the webinar on 11 December.

Another great opportunity is to make use of our new learning hub on big data and sustainable development! Together with the Data-Pop Alliance, we created this open and free social learning environment to facilitate knowledge exchange and capacity building on big data and sustainable development. Through self-paced modules, you can gain valuable insights from leading data scientists. Module 1 on ‘Data-Driven Society’, developed with inputs from Prof. Alex ‘Sandy’ Pentland, Professor at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Data-Pop Alliance Academic Advisor, is now available on the open learning hub. To access the hub, click here or on the image below, register and create your profile, and look under the section ‘invited boards’.
