Imperial to advise UN Economic and Social Council on reducing world inequalities

As part of Imperial’s new relationship with the UN Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC), the Global Development Hub held an event with the ECOSOC partnership forum about upscaling partnerships during the global recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. Professor Katharina Hauck, deputy director of the Jameel Institute, presented the DAEDALUS model developed at the Jameel Institute, which played a vital role in advising policymakers in a Southeast Asian lower-middle income country to extend its national lockdown as opposed to reopening the economy.
