In the InsSciDE report on science diplomacy strategy, Björn Fägersten outlines six objectives that Europe could undertake to strengthen capacities for science diplomacy. These objectives can be used as discussion material by themselves or within the framework of a case
A strong science diplomacy training should foster a dynamic environment, conducive to long-term connections among participants (if not already acquainted). Based on survey responses and continued interaction among alumni, InsSciDE could conclude that this was achieved to great satisfaction in
Science diplomacy is grounded in dialogue, networks and exchange of ideas. Science Diplomacy Ally Talks is a structure that pairs professionals or students new to science diplomacy with a more experienced or differently focused member of the science diplomacy community.
The Curriculum Prototype for SD Training can be used to replicate elements of InsSciDE’s pilot program Warsaw Science Diplomacy School (WSDS), which was hosted in June 2020 and with enhancements in June 2021. Key program documents from both editions illuminate
In this exercise students practice formulating advice for achieving specific strategic objectives related to SD and present it to a mock ‘Executive Committee’ (EXCO). It is ideally performed in a multidisciplinary and international environment in which individuals in each group
The ‘Common pot’ simulation game is based on the European research Framework programmes, the main funding instrument for research and innovation in the European Union (EU). It is suitable to develop skills in several fields like negotiations, effective verbal communication,
The infographic builds upon the S4D4C Policy brief: Building Better Science Diplomacy for Global Challenges: insights from the COVID- 19 crisis. It visualises key facts and figures, aspects of SD observed in the COVID-19 pandemic and illustrates policy recommendations for
The figure is especially helpful to familiarize new science diplomacy actors with the subject matter and basic links between science and policy. It can serve as an introduction to further training materials from our collection. Please note that we provide
Showing this figure will allow trainees to understand ways in which science diplomacy can contribute to solving global challenges, to understand different aspects of the concept and to broaden the understanding that different actors can be involved in the different
With this training material S4D4C presents an empirically founded co-creation approach to exploring and understanding the contemporary topic of science diplomacy. A core aspect of the envisioned approach is the openness of the discussion. This ideally suits the development of
