Side Event: Shaping the European Framework for Science Diplomacy: What is in it for science advice?

Time: Monday, 26 May 2025 | 10:00-11:30 CET

Location: Ministry for European and International Affairs, Minoritenplatz 8, 1010 Vienna, Austria | in-person only

 

We are proud to announce that the EU Science Diplomacy Alliance is joining forces with the Austrian Ministry for European and International Affairs to organise a side event during the "SAM Conference: Building bridges – shaping Europe’s science-for-policy landscape" on 26-27 May 2025 in Vienna, Austria.

Over the course of 2024, European scientists and diplomats joined forces in one of the largest Science Diplomacy co-creation endeavors ever. Five EU Science Diplomacy Working Groups, established by the European Commission, developed recommendations for a future European Framework for Science Diplomacy, the first joint strategic approach to Science Diplomacy in Europe. This side event will present key recommendations of the working group on: “Making European diplomacy more strategic, effective and resilient through scientific evidence and foresight” and provide an outlook on the future steps.

In an interactive world café looking at science advice to foreign and security policies in 2035, participants will then have an opportunity to brainstorm, create and discuss different scenarios and explore a set of unexpected or extreme events and their potential impact on the future of science advice in Europe and beyond.

The seats are limited and are available on first-come-first-serve basis.

A valid photo ID is required for entry.
