An interview to Eric Piaget (VUB / EUTOPIA)
Eric Piaget, the science diplomacy coordinator for EUTOPIA, is responsible for raising awareness about the various aspects of science diplomacy.
Eric Piaget coordinates all the EUTOPIA activities around Science Diplomacy. He organised, among several other mùeetings, a recent science diplomacy seminar at VUB, where the focus was on protecting cultural heritage from global threats.
Science diplomacy is an international approach where scientists, policymakers, and diplomats collaborate to tackle cross-border challenges, such as protecting cultural heritage and fostering international cooperation on climate change. Science diplomacy has helped save cultural heritage sites in Ukraine and Pakistan, and the EUTOPIA European university network plays a crucial role in promoting science diplomacy.
The VUB’s comms team recently interviewed him. Read the full interview here.
