USAID has launched a new site that allows users to contribute to the global conversation on finding “innovative solutions to social issues facing the global community within the fields of science and technology, entrepreneurship, and human development”.

The website itself is organized around a 3-day event called Global Pulse 2010 (held on March 29-31) in which participants will take part in a series of online forums structured around addressing some of the key problems confronting the international community. Topics range from “Empowering Women and Girls” to “Promoting Global Health” to “Advancing Entrepreneurship, Trade & Economic Opportunity”.

You can register and learn more about Global Pulse 2010 here.
