The University of London Institute in Paris, with the British Council as one of the partners, will continue leading a major “Knowledge Diplomacy Project” which seeks to analyse the role of international HEIs; promote research, innovation and knowledge exchange; and build and strengthen transnational cooperation through a series of events, publications, networking activities and a book of case studies from various knowledge diplomacy practitioners.
In February 2025, the Royal Society and American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) will publish a report on “Science diplomacy – 15 years on”, updating their landmark 2010 joint report on the topic for the very different world of today.
The Geneva Science and Diplomacy Anticipator (GESDA) will continue to, in the words of their strapline, “use the future to build the present”, by seeking to further embed science diplomacy in the multilateral system and to pre-emptively assess the future impact of emerging technologies. Other commitments were made for further convening and to explore the possibility of financial support by various government, university and research stakeholders participating in the dialogue.
