Science diplomacy in an era of disruption

The Royal Society (UK) and the American Association for the Advancement of Science have published “New frontiers in science diplomacy”, a report seeking to update the framework for science diplomacy, emphasizing its use as a tool to achieve diplomatic objectives and highlighting the need for awareness of national security risks in scientific collaborations, among others:

The report draws on a year of evidence-gathering, beginning with a roundtable in London, UK in November 2023, and continuing through sessions at the AAAS Annual Meeting in Denver, US, in February 2024; the International Network of Government Science Advice (INGSA) conference in Kigali, Rwanda in May 2024; the Science, Technology and Society (STS) Forum in Kyoto, Japan in October 2024; and the World Science Forum in Budapest, Hungary in November 2024.
