Science diplomacy

Science diplomacy describes how scientific exchanges and the cross-border collaboration of scientists or scientific organizations can perform diplomatic functions in the context of international relations. Most often this diplomacy happens as part of scientific cooperation as a means of building relationships between states and within international organizations. Science diplomacy is a process by which states, international organizations and non-state actors represent themselves and their interests. It is a global phenomenon.[1][2][3][4][5]

Science diplomacy includes a number of formal or informal research-based, academic or engineering exchanges. It typically involves interactions between scientists and officials involved in diplomacy.[6][7] Science diplomacy aims to address common problems. However, especially in times of international conflict, it is sometimes unclear if and how the actual policies and associated organizations can meet the expectations placed on science diplomacy.[8]
