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.

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”.

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.

Key recommendations coming out from the ECOSOC youth forum will be shared
with Member States at the High-level Segment of ECOSOC in July 2013.
