Science Diplomacy
What is Science Diplomacy?
Science Diplomacy (SD) itself is an international, interdisciplinary, and inclusive process. One key goal is to facilitate informed decisionmaking that balances national interests with shared common interests.
How does it work?
Science diplomats work across national borders, policy frameworks, contending stakeholders, and professional fields. The ultimate purpose is to help multiple stakeholders reach short-term agreements that take account of long-term, global needs.
Our Approach
The Science Diplomacy Center’s purpose is to enhance understanding and applications of science diplomacy with informed decisionmaking and common interest building for sustainable development. We focus on doing so through three major areas:
EDUCATION & TRAINING
RESEARCH
ACTION
Facilitate short-term decisionmaking and long-term collaborative leadership.
"Inclusion is the essence of knowledge discovery"
With the Science Diplomacy Center Inc., inclusion is the essence of knowledge discovery. This philosophy is grounded in the understanding that processes begin with questions—what, how, when, where, why, and who—that invite diverse voices and perspectives to the table. Along with inciting dialogue, these questions also build the foundation for shared understanding and common interest, which are essential in addressing global challenges. In our work, especially within the realm of science diplomacy, inclusion is a critical tool for uncovering solutions. When we welcome questions, we welcome people—and through that openness, we cultivate the kind of collaborative knowledge-making that drives meaningful, lasting impact.
