The Bibliotheca Alexandrina (BA) through the Center for Special Studies and Programs (CSSP), The World Academy of Sciences for the Advancement of Science in Developing Countries’ Arab Regional Partner (TWAS–AREP) organized the Regional Workshop on Science Diplomacy for the Arab Region that was held hybrid from 24–26 October 2023.
Science diplomacy is the use of scientific collaborations among nations to address common problems facing humanity and to build constructive, knowledge based international partnerships.
Many of the challenges we face today are international and whether it is tackling climate change or fighting disease, these global problems require global solutions. That is why it is important that we create a new role for science in international policymaking and diplomacy to place science at the heart of the progressive international agenda.
Science diplomacy needs support and encouragement at all levels of the science community. Younger scientists need opportunities and career incentives to engage with policy debates from the earliest stage of their careers. There is much to learn from related debates over science communication and public engagement by scientists, where there has been a culture change within science over the past ten years.
