The @EAAFoficial was invited to participate as a delegate in the #SköllWorldForum2025 — a global gathering of changemakers advancing transformational social change for a more sustainable, peaceful, and prosperous world, that took place 1–4 April in Oxford, England. The Forum convenes 1,500+ social entrepreneurs and innovators, funders, storytellers, government and business leaders, and other change makers such as leaders of social ventures, NGOs and nonprofits. Mercedes Doretti, General Director, and Alejandro Bautista, Senior Advisor, took part on behalf of EAAF. That week, they also attended the Marmalade Festival and the Side Bar, two Skoll parallel collaborative forums addressing similar issues and open to everyone.
For decades, EAAF has used cutting-edge forensic sciences not only to investigate human rights violations and humanitarian problems in over 65 countries, but to restore dignity, memory, and truth to victims, their families, and communities. Our work reminds us that science and technology innovation can be powerful tools for justice and memory.
At @SkollFoundation, EAAF has helped bring to light the importance of science application on truth-telling in post-conflict societies and humanitarian crisis, the role of civil society, victims' family groups and NGOs in defending human rights, and the necessity of cross-sector collaboration to protect civic space globally. At the same time, the forums helped us in finding new ways to look at solutions to our problems. Ideas are ‘field transferring’: meeting people from diverse environments was truly invigorating.
Congratulations to the #SköllWorldForum2025, Sköll 2025 awardees, and participants for accelerating innovative solutions to endemic problems.
