CESAER provides recommendations to advance European efforts in science diplomacy

On 18 June, CESAER published its position paper called 'Shaping science diplomacy: Perspectives of universities of science & technology'. The association welcomes ongoing efforts towards a European framework for science diplomacy and identifies three areas where specific attention is needed for ongoing and upcoming efforts related to a European framework for science diplomacy:

• Science in diplomacy: integrate scientific and technological knowledge and expertise for evidence-based policy.
• Science for diplomacy: safeguard science as an independent bridge-builder for global collaboration.
• Diplomacy for science: boost international scientific cooperation.

The European Commission recently initiated a process to draft a European framework for science diplomacy. This framework aims to coordinate these diverse efforts and propose a cohesive EU-wide approach that could yield significant benefits for science, society, and Europe.
