The session “Understanding the Role of Governments and Other Governance Levels in Science Diplomacy for Addressing Global Challenges I”, includes the following parts:

PANEL ROUNDTABLE GOVERNMENTAL STAKEHOLDERS
Designing a science diplomacy strategy can be seen as a public sector innovation, designing and deploying such a strategy requires going beyond traditional understandings and practices for governments. In this panel, we aim to share views about how to build up a science diplomacy strategy and create innovative instruments for science diplomacy. The participants will introduce us to highlights of the organisation of science diplomacy in their country and the approaches taken. Here innovative ways of governance will be highlighted – in particular, we will ask if COVID-19 has changed the approach of the stakeholders. If possible, regional specificities can be highlighted and specific partners. We want to hear from the panellists “what works” in their opinion.
