<div>
<div>The individual specialist shall:1- Prepare, drawing throughout the process on feedback and guidance by UNESCO, a UNESCO policy brief on developing and sustaining human rights-based STI systems. The Brief will build on the provisions of the 2017 RS|SR, the General Comment N.25 on science and economic, social and cultural rights of the UN Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, as well as on experiences and lessons learned from the implementation of a human rights-based approach generally and in the field of STI systems in particular. The 2020 UNESCO Science Report will be another source of knowledge and information. Against this background, the brief will put forward a set of actionable recommendations for integrating HRBA in STI, highlighting entry points, opportunities and eventual challenges. The brief could also emphasize, as appropriate, specific issues such as climate resilience, indigenous knowledge, academic and scientific freedom, and gender equality.2- The policy brief will be around 15-20 pages long and contain the following sections:<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Key insights: to provide a short overview of key takeaway messages and recommendations made in the brief</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Added value and urgency: to provide context, with references also to the ongoing pandemic and its consequences, as to why a rights-based approach to STI systems is needed</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Practical Implications: this should be the central part of the brief. It should describe briefly the main operational implications of anchoring STI systems in human rights</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Opportunities & challenges: to identify main entry points and opportunities but also gaps and implementation challenges</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Recommendations: to point to possible pathways and priorities for going forward</span><br>Furthermore, visualisations and references will also be part of the final product.</div>
