Applications are open for the United Nations University Program on Digital Technology and Sustainable Development, which will take place from 30 January to 11 February 2026, in Macau (hybrid), Maastricht and Bonn. The programme, designed for young scholars currently enrolled in higher education institutions or in early career research positions, is a unique program that builds on an intensive collaboration between UNU-Macau (Macau), UNU-MERIT (Maastricht, The Netherlands) and UNU-EHS (Bonn, Germany).
Participants in this programme will get the opportunity to learn to see problems not in isolation but as interconnected systems. They avoid the trap of proposing a technological solution that creates a new social or environmental problem, such as maladaptation or marginalizing indigenous knowledge or local communities.
