The Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) will convene its Youth ECOSOC
2013, “Shaping tomorrow’s innovators: Leveraging science, technology,
innovation and culture for today’s youth” on 27 March 2013, from 10:00
a.m. to 5:00 p.m., at United Nations Headquarters in New York.<br>
<br>
This event is organized as part of the preparatory process for the 2013
ECOSOC Annual Ministerial Review (AMR) on “Science, technology and
innovation, and the potential of culture, for promoting sustainable
development and achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs)”, and
is organized by Department of Economic and Social Affairs (DESA), in
collaboration with the United Nations Educational, Scientific and
Cultural Organization (UNESCO), United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF),
United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), International
Telecommunication Union (ITU), the World Intellectual Property
Organization (WIPO), United Nations Human Settlements Programme
(UN-HABITAT), and with the support of “New York Tech Meet Up”.<br>

The key objective of the Youth Forum is to provide a platform for youth
to engage in dialogue with various stakeholders to explore possible ways
and means for promoting global and sustainable development building
upon the potential of Science, Technology, Innovation (STI), and
culture.<br>
