Why do you think a programme like AGYLE is important?

Globalization has brought the world closer together. Today’s situation of the climate crisis and the required sustainable development for all are unprecedented challenges. To overcome those, I believe a program like AGYLE can offer great opportunities for joint solution development based on mutual understanding.
