In April, group members Sandra López-Verges (Panama) and Alma Cristal Hernández Mondragón (Mexico) participated in the first course on Scientific Diplomacy in Spanish, in San José, Costa Rica. The course was organized by the University of Costa Rica in coordination with the Multicountry Office of the UNESCO in San José, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Worship, the Red Government Scientific Advisory Council (INGSA Latin America) and the Central American Integration System and SciDipGLOBAL, and aimed to bring together the scientific community in priority areas for the region’s sustainable development, with the diplomatic community, to transfer skills in Science Diplomacy between both spheres, and thus support the construction of a bridge between the academy and decision-makers of decision.
In 2022, the group acts as outreach partner for the Journal of Science Policy and Governance’s special issue: Innovations in Science Diplomacy: Structures, Policies & Governance for the New Decade. For this, the group supported the co-organization of a Science policy paper writing workshop on diplomacy issues with the JSPG.
