Science Diplomacy 101: A guide for researchers

Global challenges, such as climate change and natural hazards, are becoming increasingly complex and interdependent with science and technology are playing an increasingly important geopolitical role. Scientific collaboration can not only be used to help address global challenges but also to foster international relations. Science diplomacy is a broad term used to describe the various roles that science and researchers play in bridging geopolitical gaps and in finding solutions to international issues.

In this webinar, our guest speakers Lene Topp, Science for Policy Expert, and João Paulo Horta Bettencourt, Research Fellow in the Shaping European Research Leaders for Marine Sustainability Programme, will introduce key science diplomacy concepts and outline the skills that are required to effectively engage in science diplomacy. They will also provide practical insights on how researchers can actively participate in science diplomacy, explore real life examples of science diplomacy, and highlight resources where participants can learn more about science diplomacy moving forward.

The webinar will last for one hour and conclude with an audience Q&A. This webinar will be recorded and uploaded to the EGU YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@egu
