A programme of VNR Labs will be posted in May 2025.
Special Events
In collaboration with key partners, a series of focused special events are organized by a wide range of stakeholders for the HLPF each year, such as by academia, think tanks, the private sector, local authorities, and parliamentarians, among others.
