A paper by Yuto Kunitake, a fourth-year student in the Faculty of Environment and Information Studies and a member of Professor Fumio Shimpo's laboratory in the Faculty of Policy Management, has been accepted at the 9th Multi-stakeholder Forum on Science, Technology and Innovation for the Sustainable Development Goals.

The 9th Multi-stakeholder Forum on Science, Technology and Innovation for the Sustainable Development Goals (STI Forum 2024), organized by the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs, is a policy forum for discussing the relationship between the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and science and technology. This year, for its ninth session, a call was made for Science-Policy Briefs and Case Studies.

The review process, which includes peer review, is conducted by the UN Inter-agency Task Team and a group of 10 experts appointed by the UN Secretary-General. The accepted Science-Policy Briefs will be used in the UN's policy deliberations and will be presented at the High-Level Political Forum in July and the SDG Summit in September, offering the perspectives of scientists, engineers, and innovators.

Yuto Kunitake, Liudmila Bredikhina(University of Malta)

I am greatly honored that my work has been accepted in this manner for a United Nations policy forum. This marks the second consecutive year of acceptance. The Science-Policy Brief submitted this year was co-authored with a researcher from Switzerland and is my first co-authored paper written in English.

We were able to discuss the relationship between self-expression in digital spaces and legal policy from multiple perspectives, based on specific case studies. I am pleased that its research and policy significance was recognized through the peer review process. I intend to continue my research activities with an international perspective.
