Science Diplomacy
Science diplomacy bridges scientific practices and foreign policy. The Royal Society of the UK and the American Association of the Advancement of Science (AAAS) report (2010) classified science diplomacy into three categories:
- Science for diplomacy, whereby scientific collaboration paves the way for greater diplomatic engagement;
- Diplomacy for science, whereby diplomatic partnership paves the way for greater scientific awareness;
- Science in diplomacy refers to scientific knowledge, such as climate data, informing the diplomatic process.
The EU Science Diplomacy Alliance, with the VUB as a founding member, stresses the importance of science diplomacy and opens the path to this new role of academia.
