During the era of increasing globalisation, science diplomacy was a key tool for addressing global challenges. Today, among fracturing alliances, the field must evolve.
In a new article, Science diplomacy and the rise of technopoles for Issues in Science and Technology, Sir Peter Gluckman and Vaughan Turekian, explore how scientists and governments can work across borders and use science diplomacy to collaborate to tackle issues such as climate change and public health.
A key part of this approach is the concept of technopoles – innovation hubs that combine science, technology, and industry to drive growth and solve global problems. These hubs encourage collaboration between researchers, businesses, and policymakers, helping to develop new technologies that can benefit both local economies and international relations.
The authors cover the development of modern science diplomacy, emerging challenges, the future of science diplomacy, regional collaboration, beyond track 1 and track 2 diplomacy, and setting standards.
