InsSciDE – Inventing a shared Science Diplomacy for Europe – presents the first edition of an innovative training program for the present and future science diplomats of Europe. The Warsaw Science Diplomacy School, hosted by our partner the European Academy of Diplomacy, is a one-week intensive course with competitive enrolment. It will immerse trainees in historical case studies of science diplomacy and its practitioners, to develop policy outcomes.
GOALS AND OUTCOMES
Drawing on historical analyses of science diplomacy and its practitioners throughout Europe, we deliver training in the skills revealed by our case studies – and immediately employ them towards today’s global challenges.
The week will consist of a deliberate balance between interactive workshops by InsSciDE experts, supplementary lectures by distinguished speakers and enriching study visits in the remarkable city of Warsaw. A portion of sessions will be related to the broad theme of ‘Risk, Safety and Security within Science Diplomacy’ and general elements of the training include:
-
Future scenarios
-
Historical case studies
-
Science diplomacy strategy
-
Impactful policy planning
