Overview
In an era where global challenges such as climate change, pandemics, and sustainable development require science-informed solutions, the integration of scientific insights into diplomatic efforts and policy-making is more critical than ever. This seminar aims to explore the role of scientific evidence in diplomatic strategies and policy formulation that facilitates a more informed, effective, and cooperative international policy landscape.
Some questions that will be covered:
- What is the historical evolution of expert and scientific advice?
- How can we effectively integrate scientific research into the fabric of diplomatic decision-making processes?
- In what ways can evidence-based policy-making be promoted within international organizations, among nation-states, and towards other actors on the diplomatic stage to address global challenges?
- How can we measure the impact of science-informed diplomacy and policy outcomes?
- What is the policy making cycle and how do scientists engage in the policy-making process?
This seminar is intended for a diverse audience. From students, researchers, and educators to policymakers and diplomats, anyone interested in exploring the intersection of science and diplomacy should tune in.
