Why the GES is different

The GES is global in scope, interdisciplinary in approach
(spanning the policy-making, business, academic and civic communities),
and international in reach. Furthermore, it has the following unique features. It is

Action-Oriented:
Its central question is "What is to be done?" It aims to formulate and review policy and business strategies for addressing global problems.

Research-Based:
Its sessions are all supported by state-of-the-art research and its outcomes are meant to generate new research agendas.

Interactive:
The GES stakeholders interact in the Virtual GES (the GES’s internet platform) as leverage to the exchange of ideas during the event.
