Science diplomacy

This course will explain the students how the scientific information and research flows into the international community. Through a solid theoretical background, today and historical examples and high-level guests, students will have a solid overview of the connections between science and diplomacy, based on the so called three pillars (science for diplomacy, diplomacy for science, science in diplomacy). At the end of the course a simulation about the ways science interacts with diplomacy will tests students’ knowledge of the issues. This course will be taught in English.
