Science Diplomacy is a key element in international academic cooperation dealing with the global challenges of 21st Century. Academic freedom is a major factor in these international settings – and ensuring it in times of conflicts and political tensions is challenging. With our guests, we will talk about the possibilities that science diplomacy offers for fostering academic freedom, as well as the competences necessary for doing so successfully.

Academic Freedom and Science Diplomacy: How to deal with new risks in international cooperation and global inequalities in academia?

Science Diplomacy is a key element in international cooperation dealing with the global challenges of 21st Century – be it climate change, global health crises, growing nationalism set against multilateral cooperation, war, migration, or security. By establishing international networks, by facilitating communication or by providing scientific advice for decision-making in foreign policy, science diplomacy contributes to finding solutions.

Academic freedom is a major factor in these international settings – and ensuring it in times of conflicts and political tensions is challenging. With our guests, we will talk about the possibilities that science diplomacy offers for fostering academic freedom, as well as the competences necessary for doing so successfully.

The event is part of the series “Protecting academic freedom”, organized by ZEIT STIFTUNG BUCERIUS and Volkswagen Foundation.
