Science and Technology Diplomacy

This member-led project from the UK Young Academy, Science and Technology Diplomacy in a Changing World, aims to establish a platform where early-career professionals can help shape science and technology diplomacy, contribute to policy development, and promote international collaboration.

Through this project, the UK Young Academy intends to strengthen the capabilities of its members, giving the tools and knowledge needed to influence science and technology diplomacy, engage in meaningful dialogues with other nations, and drive innovative solutions to global challenges. Through targeted workshops and training, participants will gain valuable skills in policy analysis, negotiation, and international collaboration – building the confidence and capability needed to navigate the complexities of policy-making and diplomatic engagement.

The project will promote national and international partnerships with key stakeholders, facilitating cross-border collaboration on issues such as climate change and sustainability. By establishing these connections, the UK Young Academy seeks to create a network that allows early-career professionals to exchange ideas, share best practices, and create a network that supports ongoing dialogue between emerging leaders and their counterparts worldwide.

Key project outcomes:

– Through targeted workshops and training sessions, participants will gain practical tools and real-world insights to navigate policy analysis, negotiation, and international collaboration. These activities are designed to build confidence and capability in addressing complex global challenges.

– Through identifying key channels for engagement with policymakers and international forums, it provides participants with opportunities to share their perspectives and contribute to shaping important decisions.

– Networking events and webinars will connect early-career professionals in science and technology diplomacy. This expanding network will provide a platform for exchanging ideas, knowledge, and opportunities in the field.
