UNIDO WEBINAR SERIES

QUALITY & STANDARDS

IN THE FIGHT AGAINST COVID-19

 Dear colleague,

 On behalf of the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO),

you are cordially invited to join an e-panel on:

 Standards & Testing in the Fight Against COVID-19

 The e-panel will provide orientation and knowledge sharing on what Quality Infrastructure (QI) institutions are doing or can do to mitigate the negative impacts of the COVID-19 both during and after the crisis, and the ways in which QI needs to adapt in both these circumstances.

 The COVID-19 pandemic is confronting each of us with unprecedented challenges. Every country is feeling its impact on their healthcare systems, the economy and society as a whole. Within the framework of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and against the backdrop of promoting inclusive and sustainable industrial development (ISID), quality infrastructure has and will continue to play a significant role in the fight against the global pandemic.

This is the second of a webinar series on quality and standards in the fight against COVID-19.
