The 33rd SuSanA Meeting took place on Sunday, 20th of August (09:00-18:00 CEST). It was organised by the Secretariat with support and contributions from SuSanA Partners, Members, Working Groups, Regional Chapters and many more. It showcased a variety of engaging pitches, group discussions, and presentations focused on SuSanA's thematic priorities as we reach the mid-term of the SDGs.
The 33rd SuSanA Meeting was a success, and we would like to send a big thank you in all directions of the globe! We would like to express our gratitude to all our 27 speakers for their valuable contributions and insights!
