Science Diplomacy in South Asia

Aims and Objectives

Recognising the power of scientific collaboration in building bridges across the world, we see the need for multi-polar global approaches for conflict resolution, involving all major actors.

India, Pakistan and Bangladesh are neighbouring countries in the Indian subcontinent, with a shared history and culture which provides a common platform for discourse between the people, and numerous instances of harmony exist, in spite of the political divide.

This GYA Working Group aims to look at scientific diplomacy between the three nations from South Asia. The aim of this project is to establish a core group of scientists in the three countries who would identify common problems that need attention of the scientific community in the three countries.
