Capacity Building
by UICC
In 2020, in response to the global crisis, UICC scaled up and refocused its support to its membership. New initiatives were launched to address emerging needs and others were newly established as exclusive membership opportunities. All of the core Capacity Building programmes and activities were adapted to virtual operating models. Despite the challenges and travel restrictions, these changes resulted in a greater number of individuals being able to benefit from opportunities to increase their skills, knowledge and networks, supporting greater regional diversity across activities.
“…the move towards virtual exchanges is also enabling a more democratic and widespread dissemination of scientific knowledge, when previously it might have been restricted to conferences attended only by those who could afford to do so".
