Abstract

Science diplomacy (SD) is a term used to describe the interaction between scientists (and their work) and diplomacy and foreign policy. SD builds upon the evidence, reputation, networks and entire repertoire of science to improve international relations. When official channels are restricted or when the political situation/relationship is difficult, SD can help to maintain or restore trust, build credibility and enable a constructive approach through formats off the beaten track of politics. SD can be an influential tool in building bridges between societies and states, and for developing common strategies to address global challenges. SD also supports scientists subject to repression and human rights violations
