>    - A United Nations inter-agency task team on science, technology and

>    - A collaborative annual multi-stakeholder forum on science,
>    technology and innovation (STI) for the sustainable development goals;
>    - An online platform as a gateway for information on existing STI
>    initiatives, mechanisms and programs*.*

> In operationalizing these components, the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable
> Development further decides that the United Nations inter-agency task team
> will work with 10 representatives of civil society, the private sector and
> the scientific community to prepare the meetings of the multi-stakeholder
> forum on science, technology and innovation for the SDGs, as well as in the
> development and operationalization of the online platform. For more
> information about the technology facilitation mechanism please see: THIS

> The 10 representatives from civil society, the private sector and the
> scientific community will be appointed by the Secretary-General for periods
> of 2 years, taking into consideration geographical and gender balance and
> ensuring a mix of disciplinary expertise capturing science, technology and
> innovation aspects across the full range of the sustainable development
> agenda.
>
> The 10 representatives will serve in their independent, personal capacity
> and shall have internationally recognized excellence in their field or
> fields of expertise. The role is considered voluntary, and is not subject
> to remuneration.

> In ensuring openness and inclusion in the process, UN DESA-DSD and UNEP on
> behalf of the Inter-agency task team are hereby inviting interested and
> qualified representatives of civil society, the private sector and the
> scientific community to submit their application. The final selection will
