2021 AAAS-TWAS Course on Science Diplomacy

About 2021 AAAS-TWAS Course on Science Diplomacy

The American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), Washington DC, USA, and The World Academy of Sciences (TWAS), Trieste, Italy, are seeking candidates to participate in the seventh annual summer course on science diplomacy to be held from 30 August to 3 September 2021. Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, this is the second year the workshop will be held virtually.

The AAAS-TWAS Science Diplomacy training programme was established in 2014 to expose scientists, policymakers, diplomats and other interested stakeholders and institutions to science diplomacy concepts, explore key contemporary international policy issues relating to science, technology, environment and health, and build a skillset to allow for careers at the intersection of science and diplomacy. Over the past years, we have trained over two hundred emerging leaders from more than 50 countries to address science diplomacy from global and regional perspectives.

The workshop will take place as follows:

*27 August (Friday): Social ‘Meet & greet’ session (optional)
*30-31 August (Monday-Tuesday) and 2-3 September (Thursday – Friday): workshop sessions
*1 September (Wednesday): offline breakout sessions

The deadline for submitting applications is 31 May 2021.
