The InsSciDE project sought to develop an in-depth understanding of EU science diplomacy experience through historical research that plots the practices, stakes and networks of actors involved in cases of science diplomacy spanning the 19th century to present day.
InsSciDE will produce 24 case studies associated with five themes under the umbrella of science diplomacy: Heritage, Health, Security, Environment and Space, as well as the transversal research strand Science Diplomats.
Below you can find the studies published so far in the form of scientific publications. In the final phase of the project, the cases will be consolidated and harmonized into a book which can serve as reference material for science diplomacy practitioners, stakeholders and students to discernibly illustrate ‘science diplomacy’ in practice across a range of scientific fields.
