Date: 27 March 2025, 9:00–17:45 CET
Location: Online (UNESCO Headquarters, Paris)
This workshop is organized by the EU Science Diplomacy Alliance in partnership with UNESCO and supported by the European Union and UNESCO
Following the UNESCO Global Ministerial Dialogue on Science Diplomacy, this workshop focuses on science diplomacy training in a format of active engagement between participants and speakers. Organized by the EU Science Diplomacy
Alliance in partnership with UNESCO, the workshop seeks to translate the insights and commitments from the high-level discussions into practical action related to capacity-building and training.
The increasing importance of science diplomacy in addressing global challenges and navigating the changing geopolitical order creates a growing demand for science diplomacy training. As a result, dedicated programs and sessions have emerged worldwide from diverse institutions to help equip diplomats, scientists, and policymakers with the appropriate skills and competencies.
This interactive workshop will assess current science diplomacy training activities, identify best practices across various contexts, identify the gaps and provide actionable recommendations for customizing training according to target audiences. The workshop also intends to incorporate and expand upon the recommendations provided by the informal EU Science Diplomacy Working Groups.
