Each thematic session will be introduced by three keynote speeches to be delivered by the representative of a developing country, a developed country and an international organization or NGO, respectively.
Keynote addresses will be followed by moderated Davos-style discussions by a series of distinguished panellists, selected with a view to ensure a proper geographical balance.
The conclusion of each thematic session will be summarized by a rapporteur, who will present the relevant findings to the closing plenary session. The Budapest Statement 2016 will be adopted on the last day of the event before the closing plenary session. The recommendations and achievements of the forums will be included in the document.
In addition to the plenary sessions, parallel stakeholder meetings will be held, namely
- the Science and Technology Forum
- the Youth Forum
- the Civil Society Forum
- the Women’s Forum
The Forums are also invited to provide written contributions to the Budapest Statement 2016.
