Science Diplomacy in South Asia

Progress

For GYA members and alumni only: connect to the group, collaborate and discuss with other members on the GYA-internal Agora platform here.

 

This GYA Working Group, which started as an Incubator group in January 2018, will prepare a policy paper on how science diplomacy can benefit the three countries, and suggest a mechanism to enable the process of discussion. The core group will eventually work in collaboration with the young academies of the three nations to identify key issues and initiate the process of discussion that would help to address these issues for the common benefit of the nations.

Outcomes

In March, the group co-leads, Karishma Kaushik (India) and Syed Ghulam Musharraf (Pakistan), have published an article on the Science Policy Forum, on “Can digital tools and social media serve as the olive branch for science diplomacy in South Asia?”.

The group organised a five-day online workshop on Science Diplomacy in South Asia in November and December 2020; see here for a brief report.

Group member Mahesh Kumar (India), who is the Chair of the Indian National Young Academy of Science, attended the launch of the National Young Academy of Bangladesh in Dhaka, Bangladesh, on 16 June 2019.

The group have published an Editorial in Science on “Science in South Asia“.
