It is commonly understood that science diplomacy combines science and international relations to address global challenges and promote cooperation among nations. From this starting point, Prof. Dr. Pierre- Bruno Ruffini describes the basics of science diplomacy and explores the significance but also the limits of a concept that is still in the making.
Innovation diplomacy holds immense potential for driving global prosperity and addressing pressing global challenges. In this speech, Sec. Pedro Ivo Ferraz will provide a concise overview of innovation diplomacy, highlighting its transformative power and the role it plays in fostering collaboration, technological advancements, and sustainable development. By bridging the realms of innovation and diplomacy, countries can forge strategic partnerships, exchange knowledge, and leverage technology to create innovative solutions that benefit societies worldwide.
Scientific data represents a vital but often overlooked component of international research exchanges and collaborations. Following up from the previous presentations, Dr. Simone Turchetti’s talk will thus focus on the diplomatic dimensions associated with the international exchanges of scientific data. The first part provides an overview of the international networks and structures that shape these diplomacy operations, also exploring their genealogy. The second draws on this description to explore emergent policy issues, especially in terms of how to foster exchange between data-rich and data-poor regions of the world.
The international circulation of scientific data is a key element of data diplomacy. The paper presents a quantitative approach based on network analysis for investigating and mapping data circulation in its historical unfolding. Various examples of this approach will be shown revealing existing imbalances among regions within the world research data system.

How many of your studies translated into concrete applications to society? According to Lancet, 86% of all applied health research, for instance, does not leave academia to transform into applied policies, products, and technologies. They remain in a scientific paper in the library. Knowledge Translation (KT) is an approach that aims to bridge this gap, connecting researchers to decision-makers, policymakers, and the private sector, which is an essential aspect of science diplomacy. This section will present what KT is and how its unique six-step methodology can help you effectively communicate your research results and succeed in science diplomacy.
